My Location for your Treo

 Google Map’s My Location can make your phone work sort of like a GPS even if it doesn’t have GPS functionality. Up until now it didn’t work for Palm, so one developed Razix decided to take matters into their own hands and create a way for it to work. The program is free to use but is also ad driven. If you want to ditch the ads you can purchase an ad free version for $10. Download it here.

Vodaphone lineup leak
Added on 2008-01-06 14:05:00
by Mark Brezinski
The astute guys at Boy Genius eagle-eyed a few new handsets Vodaphone name-dropped in a presentation. Fortunately for us and you, noble reader, they posted the slides. There was a mystery handset (pictured right) as well as two handsets each from Nokia, BlackBerry, HP, and Palm.
The Nokia phones were the E66 (Dora), and E71 (Liam). Logic dictates the E66 is a sequel to the E65. This means it's likely to have great enterprise software, VOIP and SIP capabilities (so you can forward desk calls to your VOIP), and, more than likely, Nokia's garbage 2-Megapixel camera.
The two BlackBerry devices were the Pearl 8110 and a mysterious 8000 series device that was previously fabled as a flagship 9000 series device.
HP's handsets are the Silver and Oak. Both will run Windows Mobile and have GPS and wi-fi.
Palm's devices, the Drucker and Wanda, will also run Windows Mobile and sport GPS. The Drucker will have wi-fi. The Wanda looks suspiciously like the Treo 500v.

New Palm Centro On Sprint Details Revealed
Added on 2007-09-27 10:33:00
by Richard Baguley
 Whoops: looks like Sprint and Palm managed to scoop themselves, as the site for the new Palm Centro went live hours before their press conference announcing the new phone in New York. The site doesn't reveal the full specs of the new smart phone, but we do know that it will cost $99.99, after a $100 mail-in rebate. It looks to be exactly the same phone that PC Mag cell phone writer Sascha Seagan got some hands-on time with a month or so back, when he described it as having”"the tiniest QWERTY keyboard I've ever seen. It's infinitesimal: it's actually impossible to type on this thing with two thumbs." We'll bring you the full details of the new phone when they are released; right now, the site just lists a few teaser details and the price.

Palm Cancels Foleo
Added on 2007-09-04 19:18:00
by Richard Baguley
 Foleo, we barely knew thee. Palm has just announced on their official blog that they are canceling the controversial smartphone companion device. Claiming that "Our own evaluation and early market feedback were telling us that we still have a number of improvements to make Foleo a world-class product, and we can not afford to make those improvements on a platform that is not central to our core focus", Palm CEO Ed Colligan made the announcement on the official Palm blog.
The Foleo had been controversial from the start; users were confused as to who the device was aimed at, and how well it would work. Announced in May, it was designed as a companion device to a smartphone, providing a larger keyboard and screen that would be conducive to writing emails and editing documents. But it was widely ridiculed, and Palm seems to have decided that the niche was just too small. Colligan claims that by canceling it now, the company will have spent less than $10 million developing it, and that they are going to continue to consider further products based on the platform: "When we do Foleo II it will be based on our new platform, and we think it will deliver on the promise of this new category. We're not going to speculate now on timing for a next Foleo, we just know we need to get our core platform and smartphones done first."

Palm Centro To Launch on 12th In Europe
Added on 2007-09-02 21:59:00
by Richard Baguley
 Is the new Palm Centro going to be launched on the 12th? It looks like that might be the case, in Europe at least: a new teaser page on the European Palm web site indicates that a new Palm smartphone is due to hit on that date, and the new Centro is the only one that we know about. Of course, it could be some secret thing that they have manged to keep rumor free, but that doesn't happen often these days. Oh, and you can enter to win 5 of the new phones if you happen to be in Europe. Sorry, USAians; you can't enter.

by Alfredo Padilla
 More "official" looking pics of the upcoming Palm Centro (aka Palm Gandolf) for Sprint have been leaked. We have to admit that the device looks much nicer this time around than the previous fuzzy pics, but of course if this is an official photo Palm's PR people have gotten a chance to pretty it up some. We'll wait until we have one in for review before we make a final call though, it's expected to be available via Sprint.
