I know, even the keyboard layout is wrong nowadays. Was thinking more along the lines of the Maemo questionnaire's "Holding this device and looking at it feels enjoyable" approach :D

Its like its fails then someone tries to bring it back up and then it fails again, like Jordan if your from the uk. The ho does not know when he heck to quit, seriously their both like zombies;
Both never learn to quit.
Both always have something happen to them and dont get the freaking message.
Both very very very annoying.
Both not very useful in any sense.
Both talk to much, zombies dont talk but yano the 'ERGHHHH' does get pretty annoying after a while.

So the zombie solution is simply kill them.
So what I am saying is..
LET THEM ROT

Then it will become MeeGoPalm. LOL

Garnet, and the Garnet VM software for our Nokia devices, is owned by Access, not Palm, so that won't be affected. As for the 30000 PalmOS applications out there, most are not from Palm, although some are (versamail, a browser, Contacts, etc.)

Hey, in defense of Palm, they're a great company with awesome products. The problem is the upper management. They're a pack of ape brained idiots. Someone needs to buy them up and fire the lot of them, then part out the company, take the best parts of it, and then sell off the rest. That'd be such a win for everyone. And if you don't believe me, I've seen the Palm Pre and other Palm products. Again, they're great, just poorly managed.

NO! Palm has been dead to me after the Treo 650. Their biggest mistake was making Windows phones instead of making UI changes to Palm OS.
I used to love Palm so much! :(

Palm's key patent is Integrated Handheld Computing and Telephony System and Services, which is pretty much required on all smartphones.

I think that owning just that patent is very beneficial, as Nokia will be able to claim royalties and thus have more control in the smartphone market.
