Palm request for app store advice opens floodgate
,----[ Quote ]
| Andrew Shebanow didn't imagine that asking for feedback about how Palm Inc.'s
| app store should work would open up a flood of input. He also didn't expect
| the move would change his job description. But now both have happened.
|
| On Jan. 8, Shebanow, who is working on a third-party application distribution
| system for Palm's new operating system, posted an item on his blog looking
| for input from developers on how that system should work. He threw out a few
| questions, such as: How should application updating and installation work?
| Should Palm offer payment processing or leave it to third parties? Should
| application trials be available? How should Palm handle featured
| applications?
|
| By Wednesday, he had removed the post, replacing it with one saying that its
| popularity had caught him and Palm by surprise. "My boss has asked me to hide
| the post while management decides what they want me to do about it," he
| wrote.

Why Pre is the right move for Palm
,----[ Quote ]
| Foleo, a Linux-based Netbook that perhaps arrived ahead of its time. When it
| was introduced in mid-2007, reactions were mixed. It was one of the first
| devices from a reputable and established company to fill the gap between
| smartphones and laptops, but critics weren't receptive to its $500 price tag
| and lack of compatibility with third-party software.
|
| But Palm was also quietly tuning a version of Linux for its next-gen
| handsets. Last week at CES, Palm announced a new operating system, called Web
| OS, and the first device to run it, the Pre. It also announced an application
| store, called Pre Catalog. And that's when things got very interesting: the
| Pre blew everyone away.

,----[ Quote ]
| A common inside joke on Slashdot is the "Year of the Linux Desktop", a
| revelation about each upcoming year being the mythical time when Linux will
| obtain wide-scale adoption on desktop PCs. Although the number of PCs running
| Linux has increased each year, a new emergent trend is that Linux is becoming
| a popular on more consumer handheld devices.

Palm shows off 'Centro' smart phone
,----[ Quote ]
| Gearlog called the Centro "Treo 800" and "Gandolf," both names that have come
| up before among the Palm enthusiasts. It's also not clear if Centro will run
| Garnet, the decaying version of Palm OS, or a newer Linux-based version from
| Access or Palm. No further details were forthcoming from Palm, but the
| devices shown at the Sprint event were slated for this fall.
