My New Palm?

Also palm.com redirects to this website too. It seems like Alcatel already confirmed that they are indeed continuing the Palm legacy. Link to article. |
Re: My New Palm?
As WebOS has been acquired by LG, I don't see too much legacy left.
Save the name: Palm (as in facePalm :rolleyes:) |
Re: My New Palm?
Quick reply...
Isn't WebOS open-source? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebOS Code specific to the existing devices was released as webOS Community Edition (CE), with support for the existing HP hardware. Open webOS includes open source libraries designed to target a wider range of hardware. LG Electronics is allowed unlimited access to the documentation, source code, developers and all related websites. HP will still hold on to patents underlying WebOS as well as cloud-based services such as the App Catalog. Palm Pre 2 was not that bad... Best wishes. |
Re: My New Palm?
I can see Alcatel selling Palm phones that are actually running Android and have nothing to do with webOS.
You heard it first... |
Re: My New Palm?
And why not WebOS? WebOS is open-source, and already here. Just make ApkEnv for WebOS. Possibly create Palm-look-alikes with better specifications, or re-furbish old Palm Pre by putting higher-specification chips into them (whatever is cheaper). And they might be sold like hot.
“rebuild the brand involving Palm’s very own community, making it the largest scale crowd-sourced project ever seen in the industry.” - sounds like they are going to continue with WebOS. Or maybe, LuneOS. Best wishes. Thank you. |
Re: My New Palm?
SO webOS is at LG, and Palm is at Alcatel?
Suddenly an announcement of LG and Alcatel joint venture.... |
Re: My New Palm?
Why not webOS (and Android) ?
Well its because Android is doing so well that even Microsoft is contemplating on selling Windows Phone with Android-support. Would you buy a Microsoft Lumia device that can sideload Android Apps? I wouldn't. I'd just go buy an Android device (and get direct support). And before you say it is false, nein, it is true. It is in Microsoft's Research Lab. Its just not realized yet, and may not be. However, MS themselves honored the curiosity. It seems like they're desperate for a piece of the mobile market, so they should've either acted sooner, or offered better products, or just become a service. Something like this: I mean imagine an AOSP that's stripped bare. Add in Metro for UI, Xbox Live for games, movies and music, Windows Media Centre/Player for playback, MS Office for office, Cortana for personal assistance, HERE for Navigation, OneDrive for cloud storage, Outlook for email, Skype for messaging, Bing for Search. vs (Google's) Material Design UI, Play Store for content, generic google media player, Google Docs for office, Google Now for personal assistance, Maps for Navigation, Google Drive for cloud storage, Gmail for email, Hangouts for messaging, Google for search. Also ecosystems for Apple, Amazon/Yahoo, and open-source ecosystem. |
