Palm quietly slips next generation smartphones into mid 2009
Not that many of you are still paying attention, but for you Palm die-hards we've got more news (bad of course) regarding the next generation OS. Dubbed Nova or Palm OS II, Palm's execs have routinely called for the OS to be running on handsets sometime in early 2009 following the end of the 2008 development cycle. Handset delivery was subtly changed to "first half" of 2009 during an analyst call with Palm's CEO last week. Now given the history here, it's pretty safe to call that a delay. Good luck to you Palm, hopefully for your sake someone does notice amidst the onslaught of Android-powered smart- and feature-phones from LG, Samsung, HTC, and others we expect to be flooding the market at that time -- you can't say we didn't warn you.

forgive me if i'm wrong, but hasn't this been the timeline for quite awhile now?

This should be no surprise to anyone. Palm isn't even a relevant company anymore.

Not only do they continue to delay this, but all new first-generation OSs are buggy. I usually wait for the second release. The only business option is Microsoft mobile. I hate it, but I may have to suck it up to get the phone features I need. That really ticks me off.

Nothing like rehashing Copeland/Rhapsody again. Right App, er Palm? :)
