Meet the HP eStation Zeen. It’s a tablet. But not the fabled Windows 7 tablet– that’s a whole nother story.
No, according to early FCC filings, this tablet is supposedly running everybody’s favorite, Google Android–interestingly, not webOS (more on that in a sec).
The Zeen’s “hook” is that can plug into a printer and act as the printer’s controller [...]

HP, that big ‘ol company that just bought Palm, has acquired yet another company: Melodeo.  Melodeo is the creator of nuTsie (yes, that is an iTunes anagram), an interesting personal radio service.  As the webOS and Palm fan that I am, I can’t help but recognize the power this deal has over the webOS desktop-to-mobile [...]

A lot has happened since two days ago in the continuing story of HP’s acquisition of Palm.  Right after the SEC gave the go ahead for the deal to go through, HP’s CEO Mark Hurd said the craziest thing:
We’re not going to spend billions of dollars trying to go into the smartphone business; that doesn’t in any [...]

If you aren’t familiar with Matias Duarte, that’s fine; he’s not exactly a household name. But, if you’re a Palm fanboy or you had the chance to catch Palm’s announcement of webOS at CES last year, chances are you’ve seen him before. Duarte, who was previously in charge of UI design for webOS, revealed webOS [...]

Programming:  it’s at the heart of all computers.
The innovation that developers bring to the table with their marvelous lines of code has made products like the iPhone and iPad so successful. And, for a number of developers the process just got a whole lot easier.
Palm Ares has arrived.  Although it’s been out for a [...]

The iPhone now has multitasking. Well, not exactly. You see, Apple gave developers the option to implement seven different APIs (Application Programming Interface) that will work even while the application is minimized. But this is not full multitasking.
You need to realize that right now: this is not multitasking like multitasking on your laptop.
In fact, this [...]

“Modernista, it just isn’t working out.  I wanted to like you, I really did–honest.  And after your first ad, I thought we were going to have a long, beautiful relationship.  But after that little honeymoon phase, everything just went downhill. Your idea of an ad was a ghostly pale woman, sitting on a rock, talking about things [...]

Today’s the day folks.  Just one day after Android 2.1 was made available for the Droid, webOS 1.4.1 became availble to Palm users around the world, not just those on Verizon.
We’re not sure when the update will land on Verizon, but I assume that it’s going to be soon. Palm users have speculated that Verizon’s [...]

Well, after months of speculation, it’s finally official: WebOS has found a home on AT&T.  Palm’s two devices, the Pre and Pixi Plus, will be available for $149 and $49 respectively.  The phones will be on sale in “the coming months.”
This seems to be Palm’s style:  make an announcement and then leave most of the [...]

Palm, once the alpha-male of the PDA and smartphone market, is now a small shadow of what it used to be.  Its stock has dropped to $4.00, a fifteen month low, and the company actually sold less phones last quarter despite announcing the Pre and Pixi Plus-es on Verizon.  It looks like Palm is on its [...]

GDial Pro was one of the best Google Voice applications for Palm’s WebOS.  Last week, Google updated their Google Voice APIs, rendering Palm’s Mojo framework (Palm’s SDK) unable to support further Google Voice applications.  As many of you know, WebOS  is a skin on top of the oh-so-powerful Linux, but WebOS is actually an extremely modified WebKit browser, [...]
