iPhone Greedily Eats North American Market Share

Canalys has produced a report showing the iPhone has grown massively in North America. The study looked specifically at smartphone market share statistics in Q3, and the iPhone, in a surprisingly short time span, has managed to grab second position. A 27% market share is nothing to scoff at; what Apple has done in a few months, others have failed to do in years. More »

Latest by ShyGuy91284: Symbian still has far greater marketshare. The catch is, its marketshare is with s40 on devices that you can't help but wonder if the color LCD really adds that much. Now talk s60 vs. other smartphone OSes, then more »

Palm "Mystery Product" Screws Up Financial Results

Today Palm issued a statement warning that revenue for the 2nd fiscal quarter would take a $30 million hit due to a product that "the company had previously expected to have certified within the quarter." What this mystery product is exactly is not known, and so far Palm isn't talking (no doubt cowering in shame). [Palm via CNET]

Video: Palm OS Garnet VM Running on Nokia N-Series Tablet

Earlier this week we learned that ACCESS announced a beta VM that will allow owners of the Nokia N770, N800 and N810 to run Palm/Garnet OS applications. If you were skeptical, feast your eyes on the video proof. And while your at it, let the dynamic voice of the narrator send you off to a blissful night's sleep. [Palminfocener via MobileMag]

Motorola Q9H Headed For Sprint as a Palm Powered Q2?

A holiday teaser site has revealed that a phone dubbed the Motorola Q2 will be "coming soon" to Sprint. If you look closely at the product image on the site, the Q2 appears to be a Motorola Q9H running a Palm OS instead of Windows Mobile 6. Naturally, this information is only a rumor at this point and nothing has been made official, but if a leaked Sprint roadmap is to be believed, we may know more on November 23rd.

New Palm OS, 18 Months Around Corner. Too Late?

As reported yeterday, Palm's upcoming OS is a ways out: 18 months to be specific. After Palm's unfulfilled tryst with the Foleo, engineers from that project have been moved to OS development. But all the same, engineers can't get the Linux-based project completed fast enough. So what do you think, readers? Will your heart still beat for Palm in 18 months?

SlingPlayer Client Finally Coming to Palm OS

Yes, they're late to the game, but Sling Media has finally released a SlingPlayer Mobile beta for all you Palm OS fans out there. You'll need a Treo 700p, 680, 650, or a Palm TX to run the beta, but it'll be nice to join the ever-growing crowd of mobile Slingers. Testing will start next week with a second wave of testers rolling out the following week. As for all you RIM owners out there, sit tight. Your ship may be coming soon. – Louis Ramirez More »

Palm Licenses Palm OS Garnet (OS 5) Source

Access, the company that through a combination of money, witchcraft, and the fact that nobody else really wanted it, got their corporate hands on the Palm OS source code a while back. Since this is same source that's used to power your Treo 650/680/700 smartphones, Palm (the company that makes the hardware) has been worried about how it could take its phones to the next OS level. That is, until now. Palm's just announced a non-exclusive agreement to license the Garnet source code for their upcoming PDA/Phones for $44 million. More »

Latest by Doctor_Memory: When Palm "makes" a next-gen OS? They already have one, it's called Windows Mobile, and you can buy Palm phones based on it right now. Based on this acquisition, I'd expect Palm to have a Garnet compatibility layer running on more »

Now VoIP Works on Your Palm

If you've ever found yourself in the situation where you don't have your cellphone on you, but, for some strange reason, you do have a Palm-based PDA, VoIP may be the answer to your prayers. A company by the name of MantraGroup has just released software for Palm-based devices that transforms the handy little PDA into a phone calling dynamo, provided your Palm can connect to the Internet via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or EVDO. MobiVoIP, as the software is called, is available right now, but the company's sparse Web site doesn't say how much their totally earth-shattering software will cost, which is always helpful. More »
