Yes, Palm OS Garnet will now work on your Nokia tablet, namely the N810, N800 and the N770. If you’re thinking that this is merely emulation software, you’re mistaken. Apparently, the move to position the Palm OS on other devices is actually a new strategy to revive the Palm operating system, as The Register reports:

The new Palm Centro looks like a hipper version of the Treo. With Palm losing market share in their business phones – and with consumer confidence dying with the announcement of the Foleo, Palm has decided to tap a new market – the youth.
The Centro is going to be offered at an insanely cheap subsidized tag price of $99.00. It features a full QWERTY keypad, touch screen. and the ol’ faithful Palm OS. So what’s Palm trying to do? With a total tag price of $600.00, they’re trying to bring back the duo device configuration which was very popular back …read more

Was talking to Carlo from The Unwired and he dropped by my office toting the new online OEM favorite, the HTC Dopod 838. He posted a mini-review which I would like to link you guys over to.

Performance-wise, the Dopod 838 can get along pretty well if you don’t forget to manage your memory well. Yes, it runs on an OMAP 850 processor which may seem a little underpowered at 195MHz. But upon startup or initialization things seems to settle well and the speed isn’t at all that bad. I’m so far happy with the battery life I’m getting which seems …read more

What do you get when you cross a Treo with a K750i?
Well, nothing still. But the closest match comes in a surprising little package. The M600i was recently announced by Sony Ericsson as the new candybar replacement for the P-series smartphones.

The Bluetooth functionality of the M600i in turn ties in with its media capabilities, which include the playback of MP3 and AAC formats as well as video at 30 FPS. Another highlight of the device is its dual function thumbboard, which – much like that of Palm’s Treo 700w – contains a numerical keypad with in its QWERTY layout, and …read more

A few days ago, now infamous Slinky had the virtual beating of his life where he was flammed and eventually banned after posting bogus info on Palm’s alleged Treo 800p.
It took a while for people to figure it out – much faster for most because the whole thing looked too unsound to be true.
Take a look at the specs:

Current features in the 800p will include 128MB RAM, a WiFi option, SD card, BT 2, EVDO of course, enhanced 320×320 screen, slimmer form factor and antenna, will use the same accessories as the 650, 3.2 MP camera.
But you know what? It …read more

I had a chance to play with the E61 (to be released sometime in March), which is Nokia’s mobile email solution PDA-phone. Actually, they could have just said that it’s their ace to beat the Blackberry, but they didn’t. Even if the form factor and weight all lead consumers to believe that this could very well be another Blackberry device.
I had 2 minutes to play with it. First off, I noticed that the scroll wheel on the side was absent, contrary to how Blackberries are usually designed. Instead were a set of buttons which I assumed were to be used …read more

The past several years has put Palm (well, the company formerly known as pa1mOne, formerly known as Palm) on a comfortable pedestal because they have successfully claimed the rights to the easiest GUI (graphical user interface, or the stuff you see on screen) to figure out.

Palm used to hire a ‘tap guy’ – his job was to make sure that you could access anything within three clicks. Although with the way things get reinvented everyday, sometimes it might take more than hiring a ‘tap guy’ to make sure that things stay simple. Sometimes, it might even be good to start …read more

Last month, Gizmodo previewed one of the year’s more sexy PDA-phone combos available in the market. A month later, we still don’t have that much new information about the Sharp W-Zero3 (I always had a feeling that ‘W’ stood for Wing, as in Wing Zero. It’s the Japanese market after all).

Though similar to most combo communication devices out there, the W-Zero3’s appeal is an aesthetical one, borrowing a lot from the 80’s scientific calculator-esque design, but less bulky and more sleek.
Other features include 128 MB of built-in memory, a 1.3 megapixel camera, an Intel PXA270 416Mhz processor, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, a …read more

Here’s an out of the box review of the HTC Wizard, one of the highly anticipated handhelds for 2006.

If you were to ask me what PDA/phone I will be getting for 2006 (that’s assuming I get a big, fat bonus from my job) I’d narrow it down to the Treo 700w if and when it hits GSM or the HTC Wizard. The former feels more like a phone while the latter can be expanded to look like a mini workstation reminiscent of the Nokia communicators.

I used to do some work with the girls from The Gadgeteer. After being guest columnists in a magazine I helped produce the girls have gone even stronger in gadget reviews.
They recently reviewed the memory upgrade option for the iPAQ hx4700 upping the internal SDRAM to 128MB which is actually just “enough” to run a few Windows Mobile applications all at the same time. Of course, there’s only one mainstream company that does this – Pocket PC Techs; upgrading memory since the megabyte was introduced. No, really, these guys are the saviors when it comes to disgruntled PDA owners …read more
