Palm CEO: PalmOS is dead





Palm CEO Ed Colligan says they will just focus on developing webOS and Windows Mobile devices. The bad news is there will be no more PalmOS devices released, except the Centro getting released on other carriers.

they’re not locking down the device so you can only install apps from their app store.  You’ll be able to “side load” apps directly over USB or over the air from any provider.

While Palm now has exclusivity with Sprint, but Palm would be looking to team-up with other carriers in the 2010.

In a meeting with the investor, Colligan also talks about the patents issue, saying that there are no pending legal actions with Apple. He noted that Palm has 15 years worth of patents with over 1500 of them in total.
