Palm Developing Palmtop With Detachable Cellphone? [Palm]

Yes, Foleo fans, you read right. In step with a recently filed patent uncovered by Unwired View, Palm continues to be exploring the assumption of a palmtop device with a detachable, dockable cellphone component. The patent is admittedly for a streamlined, updated take on the Foleo: a palmtop computer that houses a detachable, voice-only component (so ...

Palm creating palmtop computer with detachable, dockable cellphone?

Hold on in your Foleos, folks, because it seems like Palm still hasn't given up on the concept of a bit of laptop that pairs with a phone for wireless communications. However, where that former (failed) experiment called for entirely disparate hardware, here the relationship between the two could be far more formal. In a ...

We knew that a lot of Palm employees left once HP acquired the company, but now we know the most recent one to jump ship: Peter Skillman, Palm\'s Vice chairman of Design.

HP CEO: Palm could end up a sub-brand of the company

Given the manner HP has treated acquisitions like VoodooPC and Compaq, this should come as no surprise -- but CEO Mark Hurd is at it again with comments about his company\'s recent Palm acquisition to German newspaper Frankfurter Allgemeine, saying that the logo could \" move into the background\" and become a \" sub-brand,\" ...

Whoa! After breaking the 1GHz barrier just three weeks ago, dauntless modder unixpsycho is back with a further insane hack for the aging Palm Pre. What\'s new? Why, this \" SR71 Blackbird\" custom kernel, which simply pushes the poor little OMAP3430 processor up to at least one.2GHz -- that\'s twice the original clock speed, ...

Graffiti for Android scribbles Palm OS memories all over Googles platform

Mike Bell, a celebrated capture for Palm back in 2007 after 16 years at Apple, was most recently occupying the role of Senior VP for Product Development on Jon Rubinstein's ...
