Don’t look for Palm OS 2.0 to come to your Centro any time soon. Sure, Palm’s sold millions of the small smartphones, but it also has a perpetual license for the current Palm OS and will likely continue to use it for the consumer handsets.
Palm OS 2, as it’s unofficially called, will be geared towards a “prosumer” model of smartphone, something with more features than the Centro but not business specific, as the Windows Mobile Treos are. No word on the name for the new device, but we’re guessing a form factor somewhere around a Blackberry Curve with a touch screen, and we’ll likely see one before the end of the year.
I will believe it when I see it! Palm has been trying to go out of business for the last few years and nobody has the decency to put them out of their misery.
I have been a faithful Palm user since 1999 and I am just waiting for Android to put the final nail in their lethargic coffin.
