Palm confirms Nova release at CES 2009 and their commitment to Windows Mobile
December 19, 2008 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R.
Selected journalists participated in a conference call with Palm, during which the following information has been communicated by Palm:
- regarding Windows Mobile: Palm is committed long-term to Windows Mobile but their Windows Mobile phones will be in Treo line and focused on enterprise, not on consumers
- regarding Windows Mobile: new carrier in USA will be getting Windows Mobile powered Treo (probably meaning: Palm Treo Pro coming to AT&T Wireless)
- regarding new OS: it is Linux based, has working name "Nova" and it will be announced at CES 2009 in January and first phone(s) powered by it will be on the market in first half of 2009; most likely it will be focused on consumers
Commentary: it looks like Palm is focusing most of its resources on development of the new operating system (OS) Nova and handsets powered by this OS. When it comes to Windows Mobile, Palm is just sticking their logo on HTC-manufactured units. Nonetheless it is better than nothing - from the point of view of Windows Mobile, and hopefully Palm's experiences from development of Nova OS and handsets will be incorporated also into their Windows Mobile phones...
