Palm and RIM to Collaborate on Treo Software

Posted by Hemos on from the what's-the-sound-of-two-hand(helds)-clapping dept.

Rayaru writes "Palm and RIM have apparantly signed a deal allowing the Treo 650 to use RIM's email software. "The partnership with RIM is unique in that it is Palm's first chance to give Treo customers automatic synchronisation with calendaring." It's interesting that the deal also includes "future Treo products with the Palm operating system." Perhaps a Treo 670 Palm version is in the works?"

    Palm and RIM to collaborate?

    Look, there are those of us looking to make a cheap, sexually explicit joke about the headline and get some (+5 Funny) love.

    But guys, you're just not making it difficult enough anymore.

    Hopefully this will lead to more Palm and RIM jobs. The world needs more Palm and RIM jobs...

    A friend of mine got a RIM Job some time ago and he really enjoys working there, but he's had some problems in the work place. His private member is a dangling pointer which can only be accessed by his friends. He could always make his private members public, but then he might lose his RIM Job.

    For some reason firefox won't let me cut & paste, so I hope I got the link right.
