New Palm phone, OS announced at CES

Purdy. And some neat new ideas (”cards”). I’d love to see Palm make a comeback.

    As with the much-hyped Android phones, I’ll wait until the first actual handsets are out and reviewed. There might actually be improvements, or it could just be posturing by a company that needs to beat Apple or die.

    Besides, I can’t help but notice that the keypad in the photo uses only 1/8 of the phone’s surface, as opposed to 1/3 on the iPhone. Makes me wonder how usable each individual function actually is.

    Really not feelin it. That looks like any other phone out there to me. I haven’t looked into the software / usage side, but on aesthetics (which this blog is largely about), I’m just not there. But it’s been awfully popular so maybe I have bad aesthetics.
