New Palm OS: Nova
Palm has confirmed to launch its latest Palm OS, codenamed Nova in Consumer Electronic Show 2009 (January 8-11) in Las Vegas. There hasn’t any detailed technical spec about this Nova thing, but certainly Palm aims to have better luck in competing with iPhone and BlackBerry.
Here are some brief details about Nova:
-
The goal is to create products that bridge the gap between Research In Motion’s (RIM) BlackBerry devices, oriented to work and e-mail, and Apple’s iPhone, oriented to fun
-
The article implies that the platform would be capable of acting as an OS for not only smartphones, but gameboy like consoles and e-book readers
-
Palm believes they can grab 2% of the market; that RIM will dominate the majority of share and the iPhone will have 10%
-
The OS would also help phones make “smarter use of data about you. For example, your smartphone could send you an e-mail the day before your next business trip, advising you on the weather conditions in your destination city
Let’s wait for next January for the truth revealed.
i love LG
I wonder if this is going to stay an iPhone-exclusive app.
I’ve changed the logo to the orange one.

You are using the old Palm logo. The new one is orange.

Wow, the sound is good, I can’t hardly wait. I Miss my Palm since I migrate to BlackBerry. I hope there will be a WiFi, PushMail and nice looking browser in Nova.

Palm’s last hope? In theory, Nova sounds really cool but I think it’s going to flop. There’s too much big competitors on the field right now.
