Saturday, April 14th, 2007Palm Releases Windows-Based Treo
Microsoft, Palm and Verizon are about to launch Treo smartphone (Windows-based) in
As Palm alienated from the company (PalmSource Inc.) that is the creator of the Palm OS, fans and forecasters have been contemplating that Palm will finally convert into an unusual operating system retailer because of its PDA’s (Personal Digital Assistants) and smartphones. This rumor reached to its height when the public placed images of the unexpected Treo 700w smartphone which runs on the windows-based operating system. Since its beginning, PalmSource Inc. almost designed the handheld smartphone which was released in the market and is associated with the Palm OS.
According to Gartner Inc, Microsoft has created stable growth with its mobile OS and handheld retailers really transported more devices which are based on windows. As stated by Sam Bhavnani (Senior Analyst), the capacities of Microsoft to associate the windows-based mobiles with the enterprise software like Exchange creates an ideal logic for Palm which is attempting to break into the business market since a long time. Windows-based Treo established by Palm which also has the ability to make voice calls is regarded as the ultra-modern selling mobile instrument in the market. Due to the Microsoft’s support, IT managers may find it simpler to provide the instruments to their mobile operators as they can take a benefit of their awareness with the Microsoft’s products.
The operating system of the Palm had been suffering from a tentative future with the buying of PalmSource by a Japanese mobile company (Access Co. Ltd) in June. It was decided to change its base to Linux for the upcoming editions of operating system. The Treo smartphone has maintained its position in the market but have a tough competition with the Motorola which also runs on the windows similarly like a Treo mobile smartphone.
The other main selection of OS for the smartphone is created by Symbian Ltd which is to some extent possessed by Nokia Corporation. The operating system of Symbian Ltd is the topmost operating system of the smartphone in the world and is very prominent among Japan and Europe where the networking of smartphones are more superior as compared to the United States.
Therefore, Palm has made a great technology for the smart mobile phones and also has improved its performance and functionality by adding many new features.
In the world of handheld computing, nothing goes in the manner as it is planned. Things sometimes happen in very strange manners. Recently, Sony has given authorization to the operating system of Palm for their handhelds. It means that Sony rely on Palm for their products. If we consider the other side then we will find that Sony in that company who has developed and added few things to their handhelds with Palm operating system like multimedia capabilities, high resolution screens etc. and by doing this Sony has made Palm to depend on it, at least for innovation. Even then Palm is better at implementation than Sony. This relationship can be considered as the perfect symbiotic relationship.
