Lelong Addict - Gadget Kaki

Lelong addict who sits in front of my computer aimlessly looking for cheap, shiny, nice gadgets on eBay and lelong. Life purpose is only to dream about getting a nice gadget. Pathethic existence but it's the only one I know of.

Treo 670 Runs Windows



Palm has finally gone to the dark side.

They have embraced Windows OS for their PDA smartphones. Is it the end for Palm OS platform? Lots of talk of Palm's blunder but an equal number of people support the idea and even say it's good for Palm.




Seen in one of the heated comments from Palm Info Centre:


"And, even if [PalmSource] did somehow manage to sustain themselves from cell phone sales in China in the event that PalmOne switched, what's the point? The Palm OS itself would be dead as a platform. There wouldn't be any significant players left making Palm OS handhelds. I don't think PalmOne is going to switch entirely, but if they did, it *would* be lights out for Palm OS."

First off, PalmOne isn't "switching" to Windows Mobile, they're adding it as an option. Just like Garmin and Samsung sell both Palm OS and Windows Mobile handhelds. You're thrown by the idea that "Palm" would be using Windows Mobile, but that misses the point. PalmOne is just another licensee, now, no more important, really, than any other. That they offer handhelds in both flavors is no more significant than Samsung and Garmin doing the same.


Apple natively running Windows OS, Palm also doing the same. Exciting times ahead ...

Are you sure it's not Photoshopped?? It doesn't look 'real' for me.
