As you all know, I’ve been patiently waiting for a new Palm (UH HUM…I mean now HP/Palm) phone since I got my Palm Pre over 18 months ago (the longest I’ve ever waited..trust me it’s been hard!). I mean I could’ve switched to the HTC EVO or Samsung EPIC six months ago (Which by the way are both KICK ASS PHONES. I give GOOGLE/Android a lot of credit. In two years, Android has blossomed into a bad ass Mobile O.S.). I was playing with the HTC EVO this past Christmas on my cousins phone in Washington D.C./Maryland and that phone rocks! The Google Navigation on an Android phone is by far the best! It’s sooo awesome!!!
Sure, the IPHONE is awesome and the IPAD is great, but no Adobe Flash!?!?! C’mon Steve Jobs, quit trying to brain wash society by telling us that HTML 5 will do away with Flash. We are about 3-5 years away from that happening!! Almost 60 percent of websites use FLASH media players, Flash Menu Systems, and Flash Games/Applications. Don’t BS me! Some of my favorite websites are running on Flash (i.e. Grooveshark.com, sunilnin.com, Comcast.net, Yahoo Fantasy – Stat Tracker, etc..) I have to get Flash compatibility on my next phone. Oh and by the way, all of my friends who think I hate Blackberry. Sure, I am not a big fan of the current blackberry phones. They seem very boring to me, but those Canooks (UH HUM, I mean Canadians) are up to something good. Blackberry just recently came out with the Torch which is the first blackberry phone I’ve ever liked and more importantly Blackberry is re-inventing there company’s mobile operating system by starting from scratch. They are using a brand new QXN (Linux based just like Google’s Android and HP/Palm webOS) operating system on the NEW Blackberry Pad (which looks awesome!) and rumor has it that new phones later in the year might have the same QXN software. Blackberry also hired a Swedish company called TAT who is known for their ELEGANT User Interfaces. My view is that Blackberry will come back with a vengeance later this year!
Anyways, Instead of being overshadowed at this weeks CES show in Vegas (which they will still have a booth). HP is holding their own special event on February 9th in San Fran to announce new hardware and software that’s coming out!! As you all know, my lucky number is 9, so I think it’s just plain fate that I wait to see what they have to offer. If I don’t like what they have to offer, then GOOGLE/ANDROID here I come, but to be honest I hope I like the hardware that HP/PALM has coming out because I love the HP/PALM webOS 2.0 mobile operating system. I personally feel it’s the most intuitive and easy to use mobile operating system on the market, but I am willing to experiment and check out other systems, so that’s why I’ve played with almost every mobile operating System on the market
Hence, this leads me back to my news that I just got on my favorite blog. Check out the POEM HP/PALM put out and the announcement:
'Twas the week after Christmas, when all over Palm
All the creatures were stirring, no mouses were calm;
More smartphones are coming in two-o-one-one,
To bring more mobility to everyone;
Designers are nestled all snug in their cubes,
With visions of webOS (a series of tubes);
We've read all your tweetering (no need for ALL CAPS),
We all know that this ain't a time for no naps.
Yes, out on the blogs there has been so much chatter,
You'd think it was truly a death-or-life matter
The webOS update brings goodies like Flash,
And Just Type and stacking (and won't cost you cash).
More treats that the new year will bring unto you?
(We have heard that you're feeling they're long overdue.)
And what to your wondering eyes will appear?
Not a miniature hint now, but never you fear,
We'll have news to share with you, soon as we can,
I know what you're thinking: "Just tell us your plan!"
I'm sure that you've heard that a tablet is nigh,
And lots more phones, and ePrint, and cool apps, oh my,
"First, Palm Pre! then, Pixi! and, Pre Plus (and Pre 2)!
Next, Whatzis? or Whosit! or, Thingabob? and Yoohoo!"
(Those aren't the real names! they're not even the codes!
You'll have to wait! have to wait! the future bodes!)
But for now I'll exclaim that unless something leaks,
"Happy newness to all...in the forthcoming weeks."
Peace,
Sunil
