Palm makes Apple-style pact with the enemy
Moves to Windows OS
Clive Akass,
Personal Computer World 06 Oct 2005
Handheld pioneer Palm has followed Apple and made a pact with a company many
of its users see as Satan.
But while Apple decided to use Intel processors, Palm is set to launch a Treo
handheld using Microsoft’s Windows Mobile software next year.
Palm produced the first successful pen-input handheld but it was slow to
catch on to wireless links. Its spun-off software arm Palmsoft was sold to a
Japanese company after announcing that it was switching to Linux.
The telephony-enabled Treo has been a success and Palm feels that the use of
Windows will open new corporate markets.
Meanwhile Apple’s first foray into telephony, the Itunes-enabled
Motorola
Rokr has had a less-than-ecstatic reception outclassed, at least on storage
capacity, by other mp3 phones even before its release.
Apple ran into trouble over its new
Ipod
Nano, with complaints of breakages and scratched screens. Chief executive
Steve Jobs described the elegant little device as ‘impossibly small’ after
slipping it in his pocket, creating a little mystery about his
trousers.
