Comments on: Palm Talking Collaboration with Sony

Palm CEO Carl Yankowski revealed yesterday that Palm is in talks with Sony Corp. for possible collaboration on new products: ``We are in a dialogue with Sony to see if there is any overlap in those areas.'' Sony is already a licensee of the Palm OS but the relationship was thrown into doubt recently when Sony announced that it had licensed the EPOC OS to use in its next generation of smart phones. Mr. Yankowski's statement was probably intended to convince investors that Palm is still on good terms with the electronics giant.

At the same meeting, Mr. Yankowski repeated his company's plan to release wireless clip-on devices for all Palm handhelds. No further details were released.

I really can't understand how the folks at PALM can be so stupid. Instead of publishing that every PALM is online for 3 years now (the only thing you need is a Ericsson or Siemens or meanwhile even Motorola mobile phone with an IrDa port)they talk about making this possible by additional hardware end of the year.....
I use my Palm for almost 3 years now to see any (ANY!!!) web-site there is and not only WAP driven ones.Since there is the colorful PALM IIIc even all that in color and withouut Omnisky, clipOn or serial modems cause my mobile (which i have with me anyway) IS my modem...
Never tell less than there is !

How do you connect the palm to a mobile? i.e. Where do you get the cable?
