Are these guys still making PDAs and phones?
If they're a hardware vendor, why not just use Android?
Wrapping webkit and giving javascript APIs to talk to the hardware isn't a bad idea and it's working for PhoneGap. I just don't know why they have to re-invent the wheel.
Do they intend on making money licensing their WebOS to other hardware manufacturers?
Why would you comment when you obviously have no understanding of what the company in the story produces?
Palm has released PalmOS powered and Windows Mobile devices side-by-side for several years.
Yes, they still make phones and PDAs.
It doesn't make sense to use Android, and have to pay licensing on a product that they don't own when they have been around long enough to know what works and what their customers want. The technology that WebOS uses is well known, and they made what seems to be an improvement on their own work with the WebOS. I'll miss the traditional PalmOS, but probably not for long, if the early reviews of WebOS are any indicaion.
I don't know if any of you realize it, but it isn't Jay-Z's interests that Capitol/EMI is "protecting", since he's not even on their label. Capitol/EMI is calling foul for DJ DangerMouse's failure to secure the rights to sample the works of the Beatles. DJ DM acknowledges this in the Rolling Stone blurb from last week (RS #492; which incidentally is what likely brought this to Capitol/EMI's attention. It was probably only included due to its relevance to the 40th anniversary of the Beatles' Ed Sullivan appearance). His hope was that the project would be well recieved by the source artists, and that if it wasn't (for one reason or another), then he'd recall the CD's.
Hasn't anyone else discovered Adams' alternate storyline? I'm saddened that Peter Jones is dead, he would have brought some credibility to the cast. Most of the actors slated for the current project are less than inspired choices.
The David Niven/Peter Sellers Casino Royale addresses this. Niven played Bond, and became head of the service and promptly renamed all employees "James Bond, Agent 007", to confuse assination attempts.
