Windows Mobile revolutions (not just a rumor anymore!) : PalmOne will release Treo smartphones powered by Windows Mobile ! November 02, 2004 [Pocket PC phone] | By Edward J. R. This is an incredible fantastic news story: PalmOne, a hardware vendor that by now was using only Palm OS from PalmSource, decided to use also (they will continue using Palm OS) Windows Mobile software in their Treo series of smartphones - a very successful (in USA) series we might add. Since Treo smartphones have touch screen it must be Pocket PC Phone Edition. Products of PalmOne are characterized by high quality and stylish design and this step means huge boost for Microsoft's efforts to conquer cell phones industry! The research note from Needham & Co. said PalmOne "tacitly admitted" it was working to make Microsoft's handheld OS available on the popular Treo line of phones [...] The report added, "We know that an announcement is virtually certain," citing comments made by executives following an event for PalmOne analysts on Oct. 5. However, the report said the analysts, Charles Wolf and Justin Udelhofen, did not know when a Microsoft version of the Treo would be released. Udelhofen added that making Microsoft's OS available on PalmOne's Treo devices would render the devices more appealing to large businesses that use other Microsoft OS products. The analyst said he didn't expect PalmOne to ditch the Palm OS and that Microsoft OS support would complement the Palm OS. To read the full article about PalmOne using Windows Mobile, click here.
