RE: ChatterEmail gone...
If so, were they laid off?
If no competent support, perhaps not worth carrying - especially given the planned dropping of all but WebOS and WinMob.
RE: ChatterEmail gone...
1. No, but the app did apparently continue to be "sold" in the few months immediately past Marc's departure. I believe the problems with trying to process new registrations began in mid-Feb or so.
2. Who defines what it's "worth" to Palm vs. what it is "worth" to their remaining POS user base? WebOS is the main focus but there are many areas/fields/niches in which is cannot capably replace Palm OS Garnet, so you would imagine some kind of continued "mature" support would remain available for Garnet-based users if for no other reason than the huge installed base of that platform. Palm would be far better off just letting Chatter's IP/support and/or order taking be shouldered by a 3rd party as the product winds down its natural lifecycle instead of just suddenly killing it from one day to the next.
Fact: Palm OS devices (Centro) are still active models on AT&T, Verizon, Sprint and numerous other networks globally. Furthermore, no official EOL or discontinuation notice has been given for the remaining Palm OS-based PDAs. So you'd think that they'd keep Chatter registrations going at least through mid-2010 (a fair amount of time, given the Sprint Centro hits EOL status this July), especially if we go by Mr. McNamee's reasoning. All of those Centro users will be out of contract by mid-2011 and therefore be chompin' at the bit for a new WebOS device...ummm, right?

May be solved!
Hello Jerry,
The software will be available for download from the Palm Software Store within the next 8 hours.
Best Regards,

That would be great, since I use Chatter for professional purposes and would be very happy to be able to continue.

All seems to work fine so far.
