Comments on: Palm's 2008: A Year in the Desert with Windows Mobile

Palm Wanda2008 has concluded and Palm released no new devices running either the classic Palm OS Garnet or its Linux-based Palm OS II, aka "Nova" over the course of the year. Palm did, however, release several Windows Mobile handsets in 2008 in an attempt to tide the company over during its transition period into what will hopefully be an exciting 2009.

Looking back at our WM-based Palm rumor analysis article from this past May, nearly all of the various rumors and predictions turned out to be fairly accurate, minus one missing device ("Wanda") that never materialized.

Wanda looks like centro 2.0

Looks like typical incremental evolution of the Centro. I would not be stunned if the form factor surfaced on the low end, running whatever 'Code-Name-Nova' becomes

Looks rather like the Treo Pro.

Or rather a preliminary version thereof, before a battery upgrade and improved screen.

Question for kfife/hkklife

"kfife"/hkklife:

Why are you responding to your own articles like this? That's just plain... odd.

Are you afraid of posting here as hkklife when you go to the CES schmoozefest?

Stop by our booth this week for a chat. Don't be afraid to speak your mind.

Ummmmm, sorry, Pal. That's not me. Just like how "FrequentVisitor" is not "SeldomVisitor" who is appartently not "Hengeem". Giggle!

I'll respond to my own articles as myself and have done so in abundance recently.

See ya in Vegas!

Well, at least not here. In the deep distant past I =was= "frequentvisitor" but on a different board and for the same reason, I expect! And "hengeem" is indeed still me on Yahoo, though here "hengeem" is that something-Lyons guy down in Georgia.

Here, though (and on TreoCentral, for that matter), I am and always have been ONLY "seldomvisitor".

I suspect Carl is still 'sore' from our failure to accept his 'inside track' at face value.

"Simple BS. Anyone smart enough to be on the 'A-List' for a sneak peek of the presentation would have been SMART ENOUGH to remember the big NDA they signed. (Sorry Carl, don't mean to use big words: that's Non Disclosure Agreement for you) A shout out to skinny-g. My buddy J-dog, and the rest of my homies with tired fingers at the Palm NOVA team. Wheel show em [sic]. Raise a glass! Cha-chink!"

I have to say, I agree with "kfife". Clearly he's smarter than the average bear.
