PalmSource Drops Mac Synchronization in Cobalt

Posted by pudge on Thursday February 12, 2004 @10:48AM from the palms-are-obsolete-anyway dept.

Gear_Media writes "Originally posted at PalmInfocenter: 'In a surprise announcement at the developer conference, PalmSource revealed that Palm OS Cobalt will no longer offer synchronization with the Mac. This marks a departure as previous versions of the Palm OS had long shipped with Mac compatible hotsync software.' Smart move? I think not."

  So, to complete your analogy, would the Mac be a metaphor for women?

Who cares about 3% less profit, when the CEO's are ranking in millions for running their company into the ground.

See ya, Palm! by Just+Some+Guy · 2004-02-12 11:00 · Score: 2, Funny

I've owned and used a Palm Pilot Pro, a Palm III, a Palm IIIxe, and most recently a Palm m130.
I've also owned and used various DayRunner paper organizers.
One of these will be usable with my wife's iMac and can hold a checkbook, paper receipts, and business cards. The other plays solitaire.
Goodbye, Palm - it's been fun.

Looks like someone knows how to read a company data sheet! We can't have any unemotional, numbers based arguments here at Slashdot. Mod this motherfucker down.
