Palm has been in limbo as of late and they're falling behind the smartphone crowd. With the announcement of the new iPhone 4, more Android phones being released, Windows Phone 7 on the horizon, and new BlackBerrys on the way, Palm seems very far behind. However, the company doesn't want us to forget about them, and they've let a little cat out of the bag. According to Palm, new webOS devices are indeed on the way.
At the developers webinar hosted by AT&T, Palm said that new devices are on the way. Asked if there were plans to release new devices this year, Palm’s rep said:
“I'm not allowed to talk about future roadmaps, especially because we're in the process of being acquired by HP, so I can't say. But yes we have a road map. We are working on future devices. And [a] new version of the OS. So I think, you're going to find the next year very exciting.”
The next year? That's just too long to wait for Palm. I love weOS, but the hardware is terrible and there aren't enough good apps. I've already moved on to Android and will be picking up a new iPhone next week. If Palm releases something I'll be sure to check it out, but I'm not holding my breath. I wish you luck Palm, but I'm moving on...
