PalmSource Drops Mac Synchronization in Cobalt

Posted by pudge on 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.

    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.
