Palm might as well close.

Normally I have something interesting to post here, but I just haven't been in the mood for a while, the whole experience with the Foleo has really made me think about Palm as a company and about their devices.

I keep looking at some of the new devices coming out of the HTC camp, they have mobile office machines, machines that boot both win mobile, and vista, phones with features, making advances in features, and looks. What has Palm done?

Let's think about this... the last /amazing/ palm PDA was the Lifedrive and they fucked it up! It was slow, it crashed, the screen was fucking beautiful, and teh wifi worked, but all in all it sucked.

The last smartphone Palm released was the Treo 650. Guess what!? Handspring designed it.

Palm has now lost my business, there has been just too many mistakes in recent years, and I honestly don't think it's worth supporting a platform that is quickly becoming a second class OS. Windows mobile has improved to the point that it is something that can be used by a non windows fan now, even a die hard Mac friend of mine has jumped ship away from his Palm to a HTC device and he says you can work around the bugs in windows now. :)

Going over my software list, there are one or two applications I can't find the equiv for under windows, but those are getting so few and far between that I am making the jump!

Foleo is canceled.

So Palm makes yet another bone head move. If you read the long wordy article on palm's blog they say a lot without saying much at all. Those of us who actually thought about this device knew it could have been something good.

Oh well, maybe it is time to look at windows mobile devices again... palm really makes me insane sometimes, and the third party developers have been picking up the paces in the Mobile windows market anyway. Hrmmm.... Might be time to ebay something. ;)

Away time...

Sorry for the lack of updates, I was in the hospital on the 23'rd and after staying there a few days needed time to recover at home. First time under the knife and while I'm still in pain I'm feeling a lot better overall! (Damn cancer! Dr thinks I'm cured now though!)

I will get back into the swing of things "Real Soon now"(tm)
