SUNNYVALE, USA - Palm has disappointed investors after posting a loss of US$22m for its third-quarter earnings report, sending its stock price tumbling to three quarters of its original value. The smartphone maker had promised a powerful comeback by launching its new user-friendly webOS smartphone operating system, together with the breakthrough Palm Pre device, dubbed to

Hey Metalheads, theres a new version of MetalFan for Palm webOS available. The triumph of this version is the less ipk-file size by same contents: Old Version: 4,6MB New Version: 1,4MB Unfortunately we couldnt add any new band to this new version, but well do this soon. The new version can be downloaded here. Best regards, Simon Pfundstein

We take an in-depth look at Palm's sales numbers to date and it looks like 2010 may become a pretty good year for WebOS.

Palm has been suffering quite a bit lately what with the apparent slow demise of their webOS smartphone saviours. But let’s be honest, Palm has done itself no favours when it comes to the Palm Pre and Palm Pixi. Launching the Palm Pre late meant it clashed with the arrival of a new iPhone which turned

When I penned down the going ahead for Palm, I had a feeling that its a little incomplete.  Still waiting for a hands-on with the WebOS and reminiscing my days with the Treo 650 (heck, I bought 3 of those one after the another every-time it gave up on me); it couldnt have been a

As some of you long time RIMarkable readers may know, I am on the record several times stating that Research in Motion should buy Palm.  The last time that I felt strongly about this was back in late 2008 before webOS came out and Palms stock price was down under $2.00. Even though webOS is a ...

They had the opportunity there to turn the mobile world on its head, thanks to that brilliant, space-age, super whizzy WebOS interface. Its just a shame that they

While webOS users around the world have enjoyed GSM versions of the Pre and Pixi, US users haven't been so lucky.  If you want a Pre (Plus) or a Pixi (Plus), you're stuck with CDMA.  According to AllThingsD's John Paczkowski, AT&T still plans to carry the devices, but Canaccord Adams analyst Peter Misek is reporting that the launch has been pushed back from the rum...

  My initial selection of the Palm Pre Plus was swayed heavily by webOS and its sophisticated multitasking and notification capabilities. The more I use my Pre Plus, I am finding many other great features worth noting.  First, the most basic feature - its functionality as a phone - and second, the small but growing Palm App Catalog.   Palm Pre Plus’ Functionality as a Phone Th...

Palm isnt doing particularly well, even though it has a impressive product with the WebOS. Last quarter they sold just over 400,000 smartphones and lost $22 million. With a refreshed Palm Pre / Pixi and new carriers going live, Palm would have expected better sales, but they themselves had cut the guidance a while back.
