Comments on: Can Palm’s New OS “Nova” Save The Company? http://www.rimarkable.com/can-palms-new-os-nova-save-the-company The Official, Unofficial BlackBerry Weblog Sat, 21 Nov 2009 05:09:34 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Joseph http://www.rimarkable.com/can-palms-new-os-nova-save-the-company/comment-page-1#comment-118877 Joseph Wed, 17 Dec 2008 02:08:15 +0000 http://www.rimarkable.com/?p=3113#comment-118877 If the New OS is backwards compatible with existing software, I think PALM has a shot. The one thing PALM does have going for it, BTW I disagree with Richard, the back bone of PALM OS is much better than the backbone of RIM'S phones. RIM is great for corporate use but when it comes to consumer phones, the features that made it perfect for corporation, IE security became a hassle, and increase cost of innovation for software developers. Palm doesn't have that problem and they have 15+ years of 3rd party software development to add to the phone. With some new phones and a NEW OS, I think they can win back a market share.

I would put a post up asking that question but I don't want to upset Froto too much :) I probably should ask the question “Could Android Save Palm?”

Its handsets aren't innovated enough for them to continue to stay afloat and its Operating System is a joke. What ever happened to the Linux-based Palms we heard about years ago? Palm keeps on promising change and then throws crap at us like the Centro. Epic fail in the PALM of your hands. Palm is done for.

I was thinking the same thing.

Can Nova save Palm? Save is such a strong word. It will help, however, I think that that Palm needs to do something like come out with a line of devices that run Android or something.
