Do you think the Palm Brand Could Survivie Again?


I remember the haydays of these popular mobile devices. In my lifetime, I had only bought two of them. The thing I like about them were privacy. You couldn't go online with them unless you purchase a wifi SD card or a modem adapter. Under normal usage, you can't go out and nothing can come in.

I found these two article about Palm's comeback.

While Google and Apple have the lion's share of the mobile market, better operating systems and thousands of apps, could the Palm just be another fly by night product to disappear again?

It's gone. But LG is making available devices with Palm OS named as WebOS.

I think it could...if they keep the innovative features like Graffiti going. Back in the day that was state of the art. The company that bought them from HP might not have the money though. We'll just have to wait and see.
