It’s Official: Palm OS is Dead

Pictured above is the Palm Centro. It was supposedly the Palm OS’ last stand molded to fit the hands of fresh grads who wanted a powerful device that was hip as well as affordable. But Palm had a streak of bad luck half caused by user perception and the “Palm is dead” syndrome. Palm is thus convincing everyone to adopt the new webOS which debuts with the Palm Pre.
I guess there’s some allusion to 2009 being Palm’s “Easter Year” where it dies to resurrect into something completely new. The upcoming webOS looks amazing. Yes it does feature some iPhone like functions but I honestly think Palm’s comeback should go in this direction if it wants to survive.
Long live Palm.
