About 83 percent of US iPhone owners are satisfied with their phones while the other two touch-first platforms, Google's Android and Palm's webOS, are close with 77 percent each.

Addressing a question on whether Palm would ever let other companies make webOS phones, the executive was emphatic that there were no current plans for this but explained that it was "not a religious issue" for the ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/06/26/palm.on.licensing.webos/ Fri, 26 Jun 2009 19:45:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/25/palm.pre.leaked.guide/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0904/palmpre-launcher.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />A leak of Sprint's guide to the Palm Pre for business late yesterday has revealed key details about the launch of the smartphone, including Sprint's attitude towards both the iPhone and T-Mobile G1. In its comparison unearthed by Engadget, the carrier touts less direct features as an advantage, including the built-in camera flash, a hardware keyboard and the Synergy feature that merges multiple c... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/05/25/palm.pre.leaked.guide/ Mon, 25 May 2009 15:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/07/telus.gets.treo.pro.omnia/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0904/palmtreopro-2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Canada's Telus is now offering the Palm Treo Pro smartphone, the handset maker announced on Monday, and has also recently added the Samsung Omnia handset to its lineup. The Treo Pro is being touted as an ideal handset for business professionals, as the 320x320 pixel touchscreen-and-QWERTY handset runs on Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, has integrated Wi-Fi and 3G data network support through EVDO... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/04/07/telus.gets.treo.pro.omnia/ Tue, 07 Apr 2009 21:00:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/03/23/palm.delay.rumor/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0903/palmtreopro-2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Palm's smartphones beyond the Pre may be delayed if a story in Taiwan's Commercial Times proves true. The company's believed contractor for two unknown smartphones, Compal, has reportedly pushed back shipments for the mystery devices from mid-year until the end of the year. A switch in components for newer, faster Qualcomm chips is said to have prompted the delay.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/03/23/palm.delay.rumor/ Mon, 23 Mar 2009 12:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/03/09/palm.resell.stock/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0901/palmsml.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Palm this morning took action to keep itself afloat and chose to put 18.5 million shares of its stock back on the market. The move gives the early smartphone pioneer at least $49 million in cash and would simultaneously give Palm's primary investor, Elevation Partners, that same money to use in buying back stock at Palm's higher price. How many of these shares will be bought isn't specified, tho... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/03/09/palm.resell.stock/ Mon, 09 Mar 2009 13:40:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/03/05/palm.pre.delayed.rumor/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0903/palmpre-2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Palm's flagship Pre may be delayed at least within the company. A claimed design engineer source speaking to TinyComb says the phone is "officially" delayed but doesn't say whether this will involve any delays in the public launch schedule. Palm has always remained conservative with its release schedule and has said only that it plans to launch the phone in the first half of the year, though inf... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/03/05/palm.pre.delayed.rumor/ Thu, 05 Mar 2009 17:15:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/03/05/palm.treo.pro.at.alltel/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0903/palmtreopro-2.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Alltel today claimed a small victory on Thursday with the official launch of its version of the Palm Treo Pro. Beating the Sprint edition by over a week, Alltel's model is now the first Windows Mobile device to use Internet Explorer Mobile 6 and should provide much more representative views of websites, including through Flash and Silverlight support.

The Windows Mobile smartphone was delayed last month for unknown reasons but is now set to launch with the US carrier on March 15th, when it should sell for $200 on any two-year contract with both voice and data after both online and mail-in rebates. Sprint's version gives access to the company's ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/03/04/treo.pro.sprint.march.15th/ Wed, 04 Mar 2009 15:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/03/03/palm.revenues.decline/ <img align='left' src='http://images.macnn.com/esta/content/0902/palmtreopro-sprint.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Despite the buzz surrounding the unreleased Pre handset, Palm expects its financial report to show a continued decline in revenue through the third quarter of FY09 as the company experiences reduced demand for its older Centro and Treo devices. The delayed launch of the Treo Pro in the United States and the current economic recession have further contributed to the company's troubles.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/03/03/palm.revenues.decline/ Wed, 04 Mar 2009 00:35:00 GMT
