Palm possibly being sold?

According to the stock exchange rumor channels, Palm is considering selling itself off. While this is certainly something we all have seen as a possible outcome of the mess they have gotten themselves into, it also begs the question “who would want them”? Of course there is no real answer. They will more then likely […]

Windows Mobile 6 Professional?

It appears WM6 Pro is what we will soon call our new CDMA toys with full touchscreens, while the smartphone editions will receive a similar new name that has no real reasoning for it. I have to say, the name changes looks like Microsoft is taking a lesson in name change madness from our friends […]

More info leaked about the 6800…

Although engadet’s accuricy and interpretation leaves a lot to be desired, they simply cant screw up facts presented in this fashion.  These are the first meaningful specs to be released, and point to the rumor that the 6800 is little more than a CDMA HTC Herald.  While its nice that American carriers will get a […]

WM6 to be on devices by the middle of 2007

As a strong counterpoint to the recent PalmOS news, Microsoft does plan to release a new OS in a very short timeframe.  Now I’m not a big fan of windows, or of giant soulless corporations that are evil in thier basic nature, but microsoft does do one thing well: make operating systems.  I use thier operating system, […]

Treoantenna.com’s little antenna’s

Most people have at one point or another seen my experiment in the ppc-6700’s antenna and chopping it off: http://www.shadowmite.com/blog/index.php/?p=17 The new little antenna’s from www.treoantenna.com however are quite a decent comparison.

Palm has now released a patch for some of the 700wx’s sms problems. There does appear to still be a minor issue, but we’ll leave that as a possibility it’s with sprint and not palm.
