OMG: HP Buys Palm


I'm lost for words. I swear I began writing my previous article, yesterday, about the direction mobile devices are heading, mentioning my favourite smartphone maker Palm. Just today its been announced that Palm is to be merged with HP.
Palm has been recently struggling in a highly competitive smartphone market, going against Apple, RIM (Blackberry) and Google (Android). Hopefully this merger will give palm the scale to compete with these much larger competitors. I also hope the brilliant webOS, some smart features which I  previously discussed, will make it on devices sold in Australia.

The first thing i contemplated was whether I should start saving for a new possible tablet and smartphone.  I guess my allegiance will be less strong with the new webOS devices if they don't carry the Palm brand but I'll still buy it if its a good enough product. Haha-- and the second thing was trying to imagine what my Company A loves company B picture, synonymous with Engadget, would look like.

Discussion: Where are we heading?

Can you believe that its been nearly 20 years since the Palm pilot graced our world? When it was first released it dominated the pda market, with its monochrome lcd touch screen and its easy to use PIM (personal information manager) application. Back then, using a pda was the ultimate sign of  geekness-- it was actually the first thing i brought with my newspaper delivering money. But over time the PDA has been rendered irrelevant with the advent  of the smartphone (pda+phone combined) and now tablets. So what will your future mobile device look like?

IPAD: Will we all need one?

That above is definitely not the new Ipad from Apple. The new Ipad actually looks like a huge ipod touch with slightly more capabilities. In my own opinion I believe this device sits between a netbook and a laptop.
