Palm Pre Roundup: The Critics Have Spoken
,----[ Quote ]
| Palm also introduces a brand new operating system with the Pre, WebOS,
| something the company has been working on for a while now. Based on Linux and
| designed from grounds-up for a complete touchscreen experience (ahem, Nokia),
| WebOS is set to bring a user interface on par with iPhone's (at least),
| including something Apple's phone users don't enjoy yet - multitasking.

The Ultimate Tablet: On Palm's webOS?
,----[ Quote ]
| Palm? But they haven’t even shipped a single device yet! Isn’t Android the
| more logical platform for this?
|
| Yes, and no. While Google is making great strides with its version 1.5
| Cupcake release of its Android software, which is Linux-based like the Palm
| webOS, in the end it is acting as a software company providing an Open Source
| platform for other companies to do the heavy lifting of marketing and device
| development — a similar strategy to one that that Palm once tried with
| PalmSource, licensing its classic Palm OS software to companies like SONY,
| Samsung, Qualcomm, Symbol Technologies and TRG/Handera which produced PalmOS
| PDAs such as the CLIÉ and the TRGPro.

Palm Could Be Working on a webOS-Based Netbook
,----[ Quote ]
| Palm is going release an inexpensive laptop running its new webOS, if an
| unconfirmed report from an industry analyst is correct.
|
| The webOS is going to debut soon on the Palm Pre, a smartphone being released
| by Sprint. But Trip Chowdhry from Global Equities Research says Palm is also
| working on a netbook that will run this same operating system.

Palm’s Foleo may rise from the dead with WebOS

Palm Foleo: Not such a dumb concept after all?
,----[ Quote ]
| If the sudden rush into subnotebooks by major PC vendors is any indication,
| it's worth considering whether Palm's Foleo wasn't such a lame idea.
|
| Photos of a subnotebook from Hewlett-Packard, reportedly called the HP Compaq
| 2133, showed up on the Web recently. And another major PC vendor, Acer, is
| also rumored to be entering the subnotebook fray sometime soon.
|
| [...]
|
| Not coincidentally, the impetus for HP's experimentation in this category was
| its concern over the very low price tag Asus was able to stick on the Eee PC.
| Selling the mini-notebook at $399, even if it's a secondary PC and runs
| Linux, gives it a serious chance to further chip away at the
| already-declining average selling prices for notebook PCs. (The 2133 from HP
| will have an entry level model priced at $499, and will have a Via processor,
| we're told.)
