Analizando la presentación de Palm Treo con Windows Mobile
Palm Treo con windows mobile “El secreto peor guardado”
ED COLLIGAN : “The best of the Palm computing experience to the Windows Mobile platform, and we’re doing a new Treo Smartphone that will launch exclusively on the Verizon Wireless network”
* Conclusión : No lo veremos en otro pais que no sea EU, por lo menos hasta que termine la exclusividad con Verizon Wireless Network.
“Microsoft and us in the past have obviously competed sometimes rather vigorously in the marketplace, but the fact of the matter is that things have changed.”……”partners sometimes compete, and competitors sometimes partner. And that is what’s happening here. “
* Conclusión: Si no puedes con el enemigo unete?
“When people had asked me in the press and analyst community when we would do another platform, or whether we’d do another platform, I really always had two standard answers to that question. Only if we could bring fundamental new technology to the marketplace, provide that to our users, or if we could reach a whole new set of customers, never for just technology’s sake would we do this. And I’m proud to say that both of those criteria are true today.”
* Mi punto de vista ante este comentario es que Palm acepta que por el momento su sistema operativo PalmOS no puede ofrecer nada mejor que windows mobile.
QUESTION: Can you be specific about what happens to the Palm operating system now going forward with the product, and how it will maybe change the relationship.
ED COLLIGAN: The question about the Palm operating system, it’s really not a major change to that relationship. As I said in my opening comments, this is about growth, and about taking this whole category to the next level. “We really think this operating system brings a whole new set of functionality that the Palm operating system doesn’t
necessarily have.”
* Esta claro que Palm sabe que windows mobile ofrece nuevas funcionalidades que palm no necesariamente tiene.
QUESTION: Obviously — this is a question for Ed. Obviously you’ve opened up the Palm devices to multiple operating systems. Now, I’m just wondering if you can talk a little bit about going forward with
another operating system, Symbian, Linux .
ED COLLIGAN: No. No, not that, no, I can’t talk about it; no, we don’t need another operating system. I mean, really, we feel like the effort here was very much we felt like we could bring some new functionality to the marketplace through this partnership, we also thought we could reach some new customers, we thought a relationship with Microsoft, as we’re looking around the world about who could we partner with to help us really take this market to another level, this was a company we thought would really make a difference for us in
that. But do not take developing a whole new product on a new platform lightly. It is a major effort and it is something that we just aren’t going to willy-nilly go bring up the next operating system now; it’s too much effort. We’re going to focus on what we’ve got on the table,
and we’re going to do a great job on those.
* Hace unos meses podiamos ver que palm solicitaba en su bolsa de trabajo ingenieros con conocimientos en linux. Y tiempo antes durante la Conferencia de PalmSource en california, PalmFocus presentó oficialmente una versión preliminar de lo que sería el Sistema Operativo Linux para dispositivo de Palm.
Un pequeño detalle Bill Gates estaba presente.
