Palm Teams With Microsoft for Smart Phone
UltimaGuy writes "Yahoo! News is reporting that Palm Inc. is teaming up with Microsoft Corp. to launch a Windows-based version of the Treo smart phone, marking the first time the handheld computer pioneer will sell a device based on its former rival's software. 'In terms of the level of importance, this would be - in this space - the same thing as Apple announcing they were going to be using Intel processors.'"
Palm split into two separate companies a couple of years back .
Palm Inc. (previously Palm one) does the hardware and Palm source handles the software side .
Palm inc. are still making PDAs using PalmOS but they decided to move their phones to Windows mobile.
I really hope the trend does not continue on to their PDAs , I do have high hopes for the Next versions of PalmOS( with a linux core) .
The only things certain in war are Propaganda and Death. You can never be sure which is which though
You can hope, but PalmSource, the developer of Palm OS, was recently sold to a japanese company. It looks like a total rollover to me...
