Screens Mylar are leaves like those found in solar panels , but would have the capacity of being able to display video bi -stableSuch as electronic ink displays , ie could maintain its contents as a stateSo that the battery drain would be zero for it.

By HPIs not simply a design concept but would already be working in their laboratories how to implement and develop this type of technology to bring a new revolution to the market , as McKinney said :

“These types of technology will change the way that so far we look at the factors that define the shape, both products Palm flexible display technology , such as HP.”

Actually this kind of technology can revolutionize the market for the screens, in a rather indirect seems to me , is that would improve battery life, Which today remains a pending issue in mobile devices. The fact is that being bi -stable type as already mentioned , we would be capable of reading our feeds bookmarks or websites, or even books so we could keep the content on the screen so that energy consumption was zero.

It is certainly good news , we like to explore new avenues , and that the ultimate goal being to enhance our experience in the use and enjoyment of our terminals, and even more if we consider that one of the greats of the technology is interested in such developments bring us with all that that entails. We can not expect anything in the short term, but still look forward to what will bring this type of initiative.

Buying Palm by HP loses value slowlyNot from the standpoint of intellectual property, but who generates it. A few days ago we announced that Matias Duarte, one of the key people behind the user interface went to Google. On this day we can inform you of another major leak.

One of the most interesting features are webOS notifications non-intrusive in the system, it operates and how well made they are, because the person responsible for this is Rich Dellinger, and just let the company to put Apple towards. Curiously, in their LinkedIn already been working with Cupertino.

A new employee qualified orders Steve, and comes right to work in a section in which the IOS is not just the reference, at least from my point of view. Continuing with the same subject, we inform you that a third major asset in Palm, Mike Abbott has left the company to enlist in the lists Twitter.

For whether we are talking about something that we have not seen or think I share with you a video of the guys from MobileBurn where we can see the notifications webOS:

     Last month I overtook him, Palm made available to users of the new Plus Pixi The new software for Wi-Fi networking.

      The application called Hotspot Mobile to create a Wi-Fi to share the data it collects your data rate, thereby making 3G Wi-Fi to any other phone, laptop or game console can be connected. The range of action is that of a traditional Wi-Fi in the best of circumstances can reach 20 meters, but relies heavily on bills that are, such as walls or even other interfering signals.

         Since virtually all operating systems allows tethering, Introduced it to iPhone OS 3.0 iPhone OS, Android has recently introduced in Android 2.2, Windows Mobile 6.5 brings it by default, Symbian is perhaps absent in this type of applications.

     Search for “Palm Mobile Hotspot“In the App Catalog to download for free, but only for Vodafone Palm Pixi Plus, if the Palm Pre Movistar was left with nothing.

     With a Web OS Palm systems have introduced several more excellent product, unfortunately bad market operations completely devastated the old company. Hewlett-Packard Company in the Palm after the acquisition, the recent U.S. carrier AT & T announced that the operator customized Palm Pre Plus listing, contract price of 149 dollars. And another Palm Pixi Plus products will be listed in the June 6.

      These two products are not stranded because of acquisitions, see AT & T on Palm’s products or have high expectations.

“The culture of innovation of HP and its operating scale and global resources make it the ideal partner to rapidly accelerate the growth of webOS,” said Jon Rubinstein, Palm’s CEO in a statement.

And it is clear that HP is buying puts back in the battle for the smartphone market (today they continue to sell the iPAQ with Windows Mobile), a segment that Palm knew just 90 to lead the new figures appeared as RIM their BlackBerry, Apple with its iPhone, and even Google with the Android open operating system. As for HP, his great rival in the PC market, Dell is trying to propel their entry into the mobile world by the hand of several Android smartphones.

It is clear that the future still remains, at least, uncertain for Palm with only 6% market share of smartphones and really very strong competition on all fronts but at least this news serves to encourage users brand as well as developers.

         The sale of Palm promises to become one of the largest financial soap opera history of telecommunications in view of the number of candidates that have arisen with the intention of taking to the garden one of the largest reefs worst commercial and technologically exploited. Along with the increasingly intense rumors of negotiations with HTC and Lenovo, Is now the Chinese consortium comprising ZTE Corp. and Huawei which jumps to the fore as potential candidates to win the jackpot.

          To make matters worse for those of Sunnyvale, has made known that it was the board’s own Palm which known manufacturers contacted electronic equipment in a series of preliminary meetings held in the middle of last February, trying to find a solution to the situation now facing.

           The fact that two Chinese companies have become potential buyers have a lot of sense when you consider that, despite its attempts to enter the mobile phone market, Huawei lacks the necessary reputation and a proprietary operating system to keep up with other brands of the highest order.

    In addition, the consortium to favor low production costs and required capital injection to revive the brand, being able to invest enough money to catch up with the development of new terminals. In this case, Palm would be the right bridge to bridge the difficult obstacle they have to circumvent the Chinese brands and products in the West whose quality is still more than questioned by consumers.

          Even with all these rumors do not stop walking on sale or no sale of PalmEven still with the lEuropean anzamiento the Palm Pre Plus Plus and Pixi. The first country to react to the launch seems to be Germany Palm web can be seen as both versions appear only Plus logo next to O2, the operator had already lanado the Pre Palm before, but now with the logo of Vodafone will also sell the two terminals.

           Vodafone to launch a terminal in a country always expected has led to talk of a Europe-wide launch, as a group in many countries is not unreasonable to think that Pre Plus and Plus Pixi also reach the operator.

           Either way there are few days to arrive, on April 28 will be available in the German versions of O2 and Vodafone.

       The image could not be more descriptive. Palm is hot and no wonder. The capital injection of Elevation Partners, the departure of Ed Colligan and the arrival of several executives with successful track records at Apple, including Jon Rubisntein own, have not prevented the Sunnyvale company that was once standard in the market Mobile Devices has bottomed out and is on the hunt for a buyer bold.

      With this objective in corporate work Qatalyst Partners and Goldman Sachs have already put on the table several candidate companies, among which are Lenovo Group Ltd.As announced days agoAnd even the company itself Taiwanese HTC. The U.S. Dell also appeared at first among the firm candidates, but ultimately has refused an offer of its own.

        Representatives of the companies involved have declined to make any statements at this time. If, as we discussed earlier, Lenovo would be very interested in exploiting the experience accumulated in years in the field of mobile devices from Palm, it would not be unreasonable imagine a shift in strategy HTC abandoning Windows Mobile / Phone and Android to focus on a proprietary operating system, with the experience that can also contribute.

       What is amply demonstrated by this sale is something that many supporters of the American company augurábamos from a few years ago. And is that Palm fell behind in every way and even still polishing this jewel called webOS has achieved out of the hole that was already submerged.

 As the song says, “bad times for poetry.” Rest in peace, Palm.

      This can be a great boom of the month according to Bloomberg Palm would go on sale. It has long been saying that the state of Palm is not good, actions by soils after bad figures, 2009. It has been rumored until Lenovo going after the purchase of Palm, Also was interested in buying HTC Palm to include in your business. The truth is that although nothing is known of this possibility, but the bells begin to sound very loud, it seems that the future of Palm goes through a sale to another company.

      The rumor published by Bloomberg indicates that Palm has hired the services of  Qatalyst Partners, A company that is dedicated to making technology consulting services to, in this case would be to succeed in finding a partner to buy them. For now there are two interested Lenovo and HTC and other companies say they have declined the offer, such as Dell.

     In the case of Lenovo, as we discussedSeems to be committed to making its range of mobile strong for a possible worldwide release of its brand. For HTC might be a good way to integrate the good side of Palm to HTC phones and would lead to as sexy as the Pre Palm.

      Anyway, I do not think it means the dissolution of the Palm brand, do not think any company that purchases Palm is able to throw away years of good name in the technology industry, but more importantly will see that about their technologies, what will happen webOS?

        Palm with the arrival of Jon Rubinstein managed to redefine themselves, managed to put things in place, a company with several terminals, multiple operating systems, both already out of date, managed to focus on an operating system such as webOS, with still a lot of potential for a terminal and star, Pre Palm. What went wrong? I do not think Palm has international sales, which I assume have not been good, but perhaps they should do what Motorola did recently: restructure, spending time at a local market selling as the U.S., find partners to launch their new products as they have more strength to touch foreign soil.

   Finally Palm took his place and space in the market are nonexistent and are quasi-private sale to the people of Goldman Sachs Group and Qatalyst PartnersAnd the two potential buyers are Lenovo and HTC, the Asian giants that would be a very established brand, a pretty good development team and what would add manufacturing capacity and distribution.

          And it is interesting that Elevation Partners, which owns 30% of PalmCould have recovered 10 times the value of your investment if the Pre had left on time and without the hassle that took …

For many fans of the brand that is a blow and for others the end of a novel after having personally used a Palm Pre think that if Lenovo or HTC’s Android meterle buy and manage these teams .. can make interesting things out of the hat.

    The French operator SFR and Palm submitted this month the new Pre Palm Plus and Plus Pixi in France, making official his arrival in European lands. Not long ago it was rumored that Palm would release both versions “Plus” in European land, Soon, but did not know when exactly.

     The French publicist Lauren has been published in Guyot Twitter “Palm and SFR submitted on 27 April, Pre and Pixi Palm Plus version.‘. And all are as good as the data, although not confirmed by SFR or for Palm.

    While hardly conclusive, and there is still no confirmation from any of the parties involved, the fact is that after the failed marriage to O2 and adverse results in sales, Palm seems to find its niche in the labor market for Vodafone, The world’s second largest number of subscribers after China Mobile.

          A few days ago we saw that updated models of the Palm seemed to be faltering Old Road the light of the changes in their internal numbers and model names. The question then was which of the operators would do with new shipments of Palm and Palm Pixi Pre Plus Plus, something that seems to have been cleared by a Images inventory system used by Vodafone.

         In these catches, you can see the names of those terminals with replacement units or replacement. What notes the possibility that, at least in the Germanic countries, Vodafone is bracing for distribution units.

       Following this, new questions generated are “when” and “how” as well try to find out if the initiative “barbaric” will expand to other European countries. Something that is likely to encourage many potential consumers who have rejected the idea of returning to Palm because of the unfair contract permanency required by the operator on duty, as happened in our country through exclusive Movistar.

             Just as the original Palm Pre had its own GSM version which appeared in Mexico –Palm Pre Telcel- And several countries in Europe (and so did the first Palm Pixi in Europe), New versions of these devices presented in CES 2010 also have their chance to shine in the world.

         The Pre Palm Plus and Pixi Palm Plus are now only available for Verizon Wireless operates America but soon be ready for global launch because they will have a GSM version (also expected to reach AT & T).

          This news is known thanks to information from a company that does testing and certification, and remember that the Pre Plus sum 16GB and 512MB of RAM while the Pixi Plus adds support for WiFi.

  

        Palm is well determined to put forward the Pre improving its operating system. A few weeks ago we told you the developments brought webOS 1.3.5 and last week we discussed the interesting developments that led to CES: 3D games and a quick update with support for Flash and video recording. Today’s news is not far behind: webOS 1.3.5.2 is now available for download.

       The first big news of this update has nothing to do with its functionality. Palm has decided to release it for Palm Pre GSM firstThat is, one in Europe. European users we were spoiled to be second-in updates, behind Sprint customers in the U.S.. Could it be that Palm has received criticism?

         That said, let what will interest most users of the Pre. The new version of webOS, apart from the improvements included in the 1.3.5.1 that we skipped in Europe adds the option of tethering by bluetooth. This is the most significant improvement in webOS 1.3.5, and it comes exclusively, but do not know if Movistar impose a policy on her own.

          It was not the first move of Palm about tethering. Recalling presentation at CES comes to mind Mobile Hotspot, An application that lets WiFi tethering with Pre.

 

          At this time the conference is being developed by Palm at CES 2010 in Las Vegas and have just confirmed the existence of the Pixi Palm Plus.

        Along with the Palm Pre Plus (which I’ll tell you later) this Pixi Palm Plus arrive on January 25 at the U.S. carrier Verizon with the new version of WebOS 1.4 that will be sent to the devices until February with new features like video recording, 3D games and Flash 10 beta plugin.

          For now the only difference was confirmed between the Pixi Palm Plus and the original Palm Pixi is that it adds support for WiFi, which is absolutely necessary (if not imperative).

          In the Palm press conference at CES 2010 from Las Vegas along with the Pixi Palm Plus also showed the new Pre Palm Plus to be reached from 25 January with the U.S. operator Verizon.

        As I said, the new WebOS 1.4 OTA delivered it in February with new features such as 3D games, video recording and Flash 10 but other big news is that will open the Palm App Catalog to provide access to the catalog database applications for third parties to remix these apps and display them as they wish on their own sites. And to attract developers to launch the Hot Apps program with many dollars in prizes.

            Among the new hardware that includes this new Pre Palm Plus we can name who is now 16 GB internal memory (the Palm Pre had original 8GB), 512MB of RAM and the design will notice that eliminated the Navigation. Another detail is that changed a little slider QWERTY keyboard and removing the orange with the keys a little higher.

       Palm has posted on his blog that  Palm Developer Pre, the Europeans finally have their list of payment applications … in March this year. With many flourishes have recalled the success of its e-commerce service for WebOS in the U.S., with over 600 new applications for payment in two months and open the door to Europe is a juicy opportunity for developers to expand their horizons; Pre sold in the UK, Ireland, Spain and Germany. The pessimistic view we put ourselves, and we can not ignore that six months will have elapsed since, in initiating this service across the Atlantic.

      The model will be the usual catalog, but developers promise their promotion and speed, And its users freedom and an interesting selection. Also, by the same route, describe what is needed to propose a proper application for the program. Those interested you have the link just below.

        Details were also given the expansion of its development agenda, Being clear about its intentions last week when they talked about the Palm SDK release – Ares.

   Still no details of the exact date of its release and speculated to be launched to the ESC on 7 January 2010.

     For now service is accessible through any Web browser (like Safari, Chrome or Firefox) entering ares.palm.com Where can we register and assist where possible with the development of this kit.

       Within what we can find highlights the integrated development environment, building on an “drag and drop, code editor, visual debugger, full access to the library of UI widgets Mojo, showing instantaneous loading and unloading, direct preview from the browser and even the possibility of running applications on an emulator webOS or some device (which requires installing the SDK).

  The good thing about this is that to take advantage of the collaboration, you can find many applications from the same platform.

            Currently ,Sprint version of Palm Pre used webOS version 1.2.1, while the Pixi may be the best use of the current 1.2.9 version of the operating system. But there are also reports that Pixi will adopt the 1.3.0 version of webOS operating system, which will be more exciting, because 0.1 upgrade is far more than the 0.0.1 upgrade of major significance, 0.1 upgrade usually means more features and changes.

      Palm Pixi  hardware configuration is already quite good, will also be equipped with the crime webOS operating system, this phone will be officially on sale, whether for sale after the cell phone, how would the performance and change, let us wait and see !

       Palm Pixi phone is equipped with 2.63 inches touch screen with a resolution of Sub-HVGA level (320 × 400 pixels), mobile phones Built-in 2 million pixel camera with LED flash, built-in GPS, 8GB memory space, and gravity / light / close to three kinds of sensors.

        This mobile phone use ultra-thin design, but only 10.85 millimeters thick, the body is still equipped with a 3.5 mm headphone jack and support for Bluetooth stereo music, which is very convenient for the user, the user can change according to their preferences headphones, in order to obtain a better sound experience.

     If you signed up with Sprint to buy this phone, then at 50 dollars and 100 dollars instant discount discount e-mail, users only 99.99 U.S. dollars can get this phone.

     However, the GSM version of this phone have exposure, but they must wait for some time. GSM version of Palm Pre is in its listing of nearly 5 months before the formal launch of the time and want to experience the webOS friend may wish to try the GSM version of Palm Pre.

     

     GSM version of Palm Pre exposed a long time ago already, and  finally the recent news, O2 will be customized GSM version of Palm Pre in the European. So far, O2 Germany, Great Britain and Ireland have been published on the official website of the upcoming sale of GSM version of Palm Pre messages. But the earliest published version of Palm Pre customized GSM operator Movistar in Spain is unknown till now .

      GSM version of Palm Pre will be officially available on October 13 in Germany, For Britain on sale date is 3 days late,which is October 16, while the other two countries did not set a specific launch date. Also in prices, several countries are also slightly different.

    In UK to buy this phone, need to sign 18 months, will be able to buy this phone on  97 pounds, and the contract of 24 months and each month will be able to have a higher consumption for free. Palm Pre purchased in Ireland, then 18-month contract takes 99 euros and promised the 18-month consumption of 100 euros per month in order to free the phone.

    In fact, early on Palm Pre conquered the hearts of many people, now GSM version of Palm Pre comes, have patience a long time Palm Pre fans can be considered a timely shot in!

    

      I believe many use Palm Pre frined must be look forward to GSM version of Palm Pre quickly available. Recently, O2 in Germany, an official of the web is out there in the GSM version of Palm Pre winter sale news.

      If you remember , shortly before the O2 Germany once disclosed, will be bring bring a cardiac models before Christmas for everyone, but now the images on the site update makes it clear that this model is the Palm Pre. Fat faithful cheering, and now days has begun a cold, will winter be far away?

  

       September 15, 2009, Media exposed Palm Pixi some core parameters. Although Pixi phone has been released last week, but include processors, part of the core parameters did not release.

        This time, Palm company unclose Pixi phone processor secret. Pixi used MSM7627 chip contains two ARM core, one of which is program-specific processor, frequency up to 600MHz, while the other is a single 400MHz processor to handle network operations, etc.

     In addition, there is news that this cell phone is also equipped with a 200MHz support OpenGL 2.0 GPU, can ensure smooth running mobile gaming, multimedia playback is handled by the 320MHz of the DSP to encode or decode 30fps, WVGA-level video.

    Powerful hardware configuration gives us this phone full of expectations, I believe Pixi will create a miracle after on sale.

    

      September 9th, 2009 afternoon, Palm officially released its second webOS smartphone Pixi. Pixi using candybar design.its support webOS alots multi-tasking and excellent browser and remote server in the Palm backup of your personal information.

      Palm Pixi still can work in CDMA1X/2000 and also support EVDO Rev.A ,but is not a GSM cell phone, Palm Pixi use 2.63 inches and 320 × 400 pixels , this is different from Palm Pre’s 320 × 480 pixels. Pixi uses a2 million-pixel camera with LED flash, body memroy space is still 8GB (7GB available), and built-in GPS chip.

    The difference from Palm Pre Unlike is that Palm Pixi added a “Palm Pixi Artists Series” personality rear cover element, the current official website has also published five limited edition personalized back cover.

      Generally, compared to Palm Pre, Pixi is alittle more low-end. Currently, Palm did not disclose GSM version of Pixi information, according to Palm’s official web site reports, Pixi will be sold through Sprint in the U.S.. The contract price were not disclosed, but now Sprint already changed the price from 199.99USD to 149.99USD. We guess Pixi will sales for 99.99 USD.
