I remember hearing about this. Supposed to be the redeemer of Palm and looks pretty cool but I don’t know. The PalmOS boat sailed back in the early Treo days. ---

Palm has never had a good OS. People got used to it, and it was the best thing out there for a short period, but still. It’s always been terrible. ---

But they have a good vertical in the medical field with the software that is out there for it. Along with the real estate market.

IMO Palm OS is an extremely functional OS. It is easy to use, and navigation is quick. Never takes more than a few clicks to do anything. However, the look is attrocious. It looks like Windows 3.1 lol I can’t wait for this device. Looks like Sprint will be the first to get it. I suspect that Verizon will hop on that boat shortly there-after ---

Naw I don’t know any good crazy chicks. Bombshell is definitely not that type. It’s a shame, really. Back on topic: Pretty slick little palm. The hardware matches up with everying I like in a phone. If the Web OS doesn’t suck and it comes to Verizon I’d be interested. :shrug: ---
