Palm Centro hits 1 million unit mark

,----[ Quote ]
| It doesn't have the gee-whiz factor or the lofty sales figures of the iPhone, 
| but the Palm Centro has been an impressive performer for Palm in its first 
| five months. And that's good news for the struggling smartphone maker.  
| 
| [...]
| 
| But if Palm can build off the Centro with its next device, a Linux-based 
| handset, we might see Palm back in the mix in a big way.

Does ACCESS threaten Windows Mobile? (Video demonstration & interview.)

,----[ Quote ]
| This year ACCESS released their first new platform with PalmSource. The 
| platform looks like older Palm OS versions. However, it was developed based 
| on Linux, provides true multitasking, improved graphics and single finger 
| navigation. It has a number of other enhancements as well.   
| 
| Third party applications developed for Palm OS devices work on ACCESS' new 
| platform. So Palm OS customers can migrate to ACCESS without giving up their 
| existing software. Palm OS developers can easily write new applications for 
| ACCESS. Also, most of the existing 30 thousand Palm OS third party software 
| titles can be purchased for use on ACCESS devices.

| interpretive language in your iPhone apps."
