We’ve seen it officially unveiled in Europe, and now it’s ready for the U.S. market. Yes, I’m talking about Palm’s latest Windows Mobile Standard edition based Treo 500v, which will be carried by either AT&T or T-Mobile, or both — that’s in case Palm doesn’t suddenly decides to change the built-in GSM radio. Interesting thing…
Palm’s new OS delayed again?
Apparently, we’ll have to wait more for Palm’s next generation OS. According to a scathing report in The Guardian, the Treo maker is now projecting a 12- to 18-month wait on the new, Linux-based version of its OS. Palm has been working on the new OS for the last 5 years, whereas others mobile OS…

The next smartphone to come from Palm will be the Palm Centro (previously called the Gandolf) and now we have some live shots of this Palm OS-powered,…
Palm kills Foleo; Renews focus on smartphones
Well, it happened. Not that we didn’t wanted to try out Palm’s “smartphone companion,” but the fact that it was kind of a strange concept remains untackled. Yes, I would love to have a small affordable laptop, but it seems Foleo’s specs and supported software just weren’t good enough. Apparently, killing the Foleo at this…
