Amen to that! I loved the old PalmOS and hated to see it wither away. The calendar was second to none. Palm Ux expert taking charge at Meego sounds almost too good to be true. Very nice move!

I am sure his first decisions will be to remove the user-accessible file system from Meego devices and limit the application executable size to 64000 bytes =)

64000 bytes should be enough for anyone!

Hell, I'm really gonna miss Anssi! Epic description of Android manufacturers from an interview today in Finacial Times ((requires free registration):

"Mr Vanjoki agreed with suggestions that handset makers using Android could have low operating margins and claimed they were likely to enjoy only temporary relief with Google’s operating system. He compared the companies to Finnish boys who “pee in their pants” for warmth during the cold winter."

I would read that to mean Motorola...

...and a very good observation.

If I remember correctly, this was the reason why Symbian was started in the first place: to fight "PCization" of the phone market with Windows Mobile, in order to ensure that mobile phone manufacturers had an OS that they could control and have high margins on.

I can't believe people who are members of this forum can't read through the bull**it that that Engadget hit piece is spewing. I mean for f*cks sake! You could write a piece like that about any company and I mean ANY company. It's based completely on hearsay. How stories like that are treated as news is beyond me.
