Access: foreseeing the demise of the Palm OS

Access has revealed that it believes the Palm operating system will soon reach the end of its life.
.....Access spokesperson pointed out that Palm had also renewed its deal with PalmSource for supply of the OS through 2009 just prior to the acquisition by Access.

Access announces the death of PalmOS… sooner than later

實在是令人怵目驚心啊...
PalmOS壞消息滿天飛...

不過在Brighthand說明道
http://www.brighthand.com/article/Palm_OS_Is_NOT_Dead

Despite What You May Have Read, the Palm OS Is NOT Dead

PalmSource announced last year that the next version of the Palm OS will be based on Linux. But it will still run Palm OS applications and have the Palm OS look and feel.

It's possible, though, that it won't be called the Palm OS. A few months ago, PalmSource sold all its rights to the "Palm" brand to Palm, Inc. Previously, the two companies has jointly shared the name.

The first devices running the new operating system, currently referred to as Palm OS for Linux, are expected around the middle of next year.

稍微安心了一點點？

希望PalmOS能夠好好振作起來啊...
以Linux為核心又要兼容以往舊的application
實在是個艱鉅的工程...

身邊的同仁們一個一個投入Windows Mobile
卻也有一些人投奔了Treo 650
這真的是一場硬仗啊....
實在是不願見到一個市場被獨大統一的惡劣模樣....

沒關係
就和PC-ENGINE SEGA
一樣
有無數的人會寫出各種的模擬器
有些人會持續更新軟體

因為這些年來
palm的好軟體太多
好的東西永不寂寞

下一代palm os只是在市場機制下
不再是那樣必要

我們還是可以作palm的發燒友的

好久不見，twhsi，最近教書很忙吧！

說裡面沒有擔心是假的。當然能如同twhsi兄所說的是最理想了。
天啊，千萬不要又剩下MS的東東啊！

個人猜測看來T|X可能會成為末代的palm os deivce?

那一定要買來收藏了....

BrightHand寫到:

The Access spokesperson said that this assertion is totally wrong, and much of what is in the article is equally incorrect.

In a response to a request for clarification from Brighthand, the spokesperson said:

      I provided email information to Rik [the author] for the article, and was very surprised at what was actually written. The article is almost completely in error and does not match the information that was provided to Rik.

      There is no plan to kill off any Palm OS. All Palm OS customers, partners, and developers can expect continued support.

      ACCESS' goal is to offer a "Total Turn-Key solution" including Linux-based OS and Palm applications. Also, by combining ACCESS' robust NetFront browsers with PalmSource's advanced operating system, application portfolio, user interface and developer communities, ACCESS will be able to produce a comprehensive yet flexible solution to mobile device OEMs.

The Computer Business Review has since retracted the article.

原來是虛驚一場.

是虛驚沒錯啊
不過palm is dead的消息多到
讓人開始擔心他的真實性Orz

希望不要再讓萬惡的Microsoft統一作業系統了啊...

最近是萬聖節
今天才號召一群小朋友到學校作萬聖節佈置|)

其實有ms也很好
有一個邪惡帝國存在
反叛軍才能火力集中
矢志寫出更好的軟體

沒有競爭的世界
就成為一灘死水
一點都不好玩了

MS帝國最不易被瓜分打敗的地方是牠會"進化"啊!!
還有牠的對手自己也不爭氣, 被逐一攻破.
先前對申請電腦更新的單位, 要求用自由軟體、非MS系統的優先,
最近要Check一下，減少對MS的依賴度!!

我是一般的使用者...PalmOS有有未來對我們一般使用者不重要...
我是用它上面的軟體,不是用OS,如果有一套OS上面依然能讓我玩相同的軟體,大概是我要把Palm換掉的時候了.
我用過wince,但最近很想換到WinCE...,因為palm現在的機子,不像以前這麼有續航力,即然已失去了這個優勢,那麼不如用winCE的機機.
而且,我覺的Windows和WinCE以後的相容度會越來越好..這是趨勢吧...都是MS的產物

PDA 的重點在於應用軟體面，而不是 OS 本身強不強；反正它不像電腦，hard reset 後還會需要重灌 OS....B)

不然單比硬體及 OS 的強大性好了，為什麼最強的 Zaurus 系列一出日本就成了 geeks 的玩具？

對此倒是樂觀其成.

對Palm Source來說, 這倒是沒那麼難啦.
