Cobalt Paladin: Yes lah, that is my handwriting. I never deny my handwriting is horrible.

Anyway, I was a huge Palm fan too. Maybe not as big as you. I’m still resisting going to the dark side so I’ve been using PAA (personal analogue assistant – pen and paper) instead.

Personally, I don’t think Palm will react to the engadet article. I remember when Windows released a coloured PDA, Palm was saying Palm users don’t need colour screen, colour screen consumes too much battery, yada yada. Now, after so many years, Palm has not included wi-fi into their new range of products? Duh!

What were they thinking? I can’t help but shake head when I see their products.

I hope it’s not true but the best days of Palm is over.

It is a great pity that they allowed themselves to spiral down the rabbit hole like that. After Handspring’s Treo nothing follows up. That’s it.

When we were developing anti-theft softwares, we spread out the no. of devices available in the market and sadly while I would love to develop one for Palm devices since I was such a big fan and learnt so much from the guys with the previous management.

I know that it is too much a big risk for a small startup company like ours to go with someone that do not set clear directions and giving lotsa mixed signals with the head not talking clearly to the rest of the branches. Everyone is just so dead like working on a job for the sake of the salaries only. The fire went off, the folks in Singapore team dont reply, dont follow up.. basically just leave it as it is.

Till date, nothing from the guys even when they went Treo with Windows. Sigh.

I really hope that Palm can finally wake up from this article and really come back strong.
