Palm OS dead. Palm webOS is the new platform
Palm has formally announced that they are ending the development of their Palm OS mobile platform.
The company recently showcased their new mobile platform named webOS.
Palm Pre would be the first smartphone to be powered by Palm webOS.
The company said that Palm Centro would be the last of their smartphones to be bundled with Palm OS.
Palm is now working hard on getting the developers coding for Palm OS to move their applications to webOS platform.
However, little is known about the webOS as the company has not given out much details on this new platform which is said to be based on different web standards.
It remains to be seen if webOS can bring back the old glory days for Palm which is struggling to compete against Apple iPhone and RIM Blackberry.

Palm has now successfully burned it’s bridges and is an EoL company. Alienating both its developer and customer base in a single stroke, pre-announcing a “web” based OS with no compatibility with the one thing that has kept Palm afloat for the past few years, PalmOS, is just another example of the incompetent management Palm has suffered. Sold and bought back PalmOS. Dropped the Foleo minutes before the netbook arrived. Just a long suicide note. Ed says all of the new apps will come from the 1000’s of web developers. Has this man never used the Internet? He wants the inept rubbish that populates the majority of the net? I look forward to a strong PalmOS emulator for Android or Symbian and a smooth transition to the new environment, sans Palm.
