Palm's Boss Talks Openly About the Future

Palm's Boss Talks Openly About the Future

Smartphones Jun 3,2008 0

Palm looking to develop a "third platform" for new devices "Palm boss Ed Colligan reveals the ?Palm 2.0? OS platform to APC, including a possible return for the Foleo sub-notebook, and why Palm doesn't just give up and go home...

But this is something different to this" he says, pointing to the Centro."

In this interview with Ed Colligan, he reveals that the "classic" PalmOS many are familiar with isn't going anywhere.

Can Palm successfully create a third platform for their lineup and continue to develop devices using three platforms
