Palm and RIM to Collaborate on Treo Software

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?"

Dear Treo

Dear Treo: I am married to the most wonderful man in the world. He is my best friend and lover. He is also a dwarf. My problem concerns how to deal with the public.

When we are out, people make comments and faces. I am aware of it, but I'm not sure my husband is. When I catch people staring, I give them a dirty look. How should I handle this? I am considered attractive, and people who don't know us well ask why I am with this wonderful man.

I just signed a deal too!

I just entered a verbal agreement to buy lunch for a co-worker today on the condition that he buys me a beer sometime in the next few weeks. Newsworthy? I'm glad you think so.

Palm and RIM to share same hand basket

And the massive vortex of SUCK that results will cause the PDA market to collapse back in upon itself.

Having used Palm Pilots for a few years, I can confidently say that anyone partnering with Palm on product development is clearly a nit-wit with no understanding of what quality hardware or software really is.

I'm a Palm user who plans to buy a Pocket PC device as my next PDA. I'd go into detail, but I've already made a number of posts on this site detailing WHY Palm Pilots are poorly conceived pieces of flotsam that should never be relied upon.

I've actually found that using my iPod to view my contacts is more reliable than the Palm Pilot. I learned form hard experience that if you enter data into your Palm Pilot and try to sync it, you stand a significant chance of losing that data.

Palm Pilot, for people who remember the Palm III line, and don't realize everything's been downhill from there.

Palms hardware is proven, as is Palm OS

Let me guess, you're using a Palm III or Palm V device, aren't you?

If so, then I could see your point, but if you're talking about the newer kit, then I'd have to ask what planet you're on, and how you get that unstable crap to sync without crashing and requiring a plethora of hardware resets.
