What's next for Palm Computing

Yahoo! has an article on what's next for Palm Computing. They mention the Java support and aggressive licensing of the OS as key factors for staying on top of WinCE. Also expect to see OS 3.3 coming out soon with full IR support as well as other features. I've also had reports of new "dot-seven" shortcuts settings for "Rechargable Alkalines" and "NiMH" batteries, as well as the traditional Alkaline and NiCads. Also, C|Net has an article on Palm driving 3com's profits.

Palm has the whole world in its hand

There's a very well written article over at USA Today. It summarizes how the handheld market will heat up and change due to the visor and Palm Computings new independence. Here's a great quote that sums up the general trends in the handheld arena: The twin events help launch a new era for hand-held computing. Prices will head down while innovation and awareness should rocket. Hand-helds - now largely the province of early tech adopters - will increasingly find their way to students, moms and middle managers. Units sold, already expected to grow 30% a year, should soon surpass laptops." It also states that Palm is expected have an IPO in January.
