Another effort to bring Android to HP’s TouchPad is being made, it seems. This one has originated from Treo8, a Chinese developer forum for Palm users, and the installation method is as easy as pie – simply install the .IPK file and you can get up and running with Android. The caveat (there’s always a [...]

You hear that? That’s the sound of a nail being violently driven into a coffin. Samsung has once again addressed rumors that they’ll be buying WebOS. Reporters and analysts suggested it was a logical route from Samsung who reportedly felt slighted by Google’s purchase of Motorola. Well, a Samsung rep was on hand at IFA [...]

When HP decided to discontinue the HP TouchPad and WebOS after they failed to do anything meaningful with it, they decided to sell out the rest of their stock in a fire sale clearance. This saw the device offered as low as $100 at most retailers and consumers snatched them up like hotcakes on a [...]

Well, this is just peachy. Another lucky soul was able to buy an HP TouchPad (for $100) that had Android preinstalled instead of WebOS. Apparently, there’s a bit of a back story as to why this anomaly is happening. It appears Qualcomm, the chipset vendor for the tablet, tested Android on several units. Probably the [...]

Alright, you can definitely file this under “awesome.” A Palm Pre developer that goes by the name of k3dar over PreCentral Forums has managed to get Android dual-booting on his Palm Pre. The port is nowhere near ready for prime-time (and most likely wont ever be) but I was honestly impressed at how well he [...]

We’ve been trying to ignore it in our blue little Phandroid bubble here, but HP announced new WebOS-based devices today, including the Pre 3 and the TouchPad tablet. The tablet doesn’t look bad, and the Pre 3 finally dons the hardware it needs under the hood to run WebOS smoothly. So we’re curious: are you [...]

All Things D is reporting that Matias Duarte – Palm’s senior director of human interface and user experience – has left the company post-HP acquisition and might be making his way into the Googleplex. Duarte lead the development of Palm’s webOS UI which – I have to admit – was one pretty interface. His departure [...]

There had been a bit of speculation that acquisition-hungry Google may consider buying the flailing Palm. That was probably just wishful thinking, similar to the rumors that HTC may have a go at the company but later stated they had little interest in taking over where webOS had left off. Or maybe Palm would switch [...]

Wait, what? Didn’t Palm’s CEO Jon Rubinstein say that the company was doing well enough on their own and had a strategy to spring them back into prosper? A rather interesting story popped up today from that folks at Bloomberg stating that Palm is looking to sell its company to a lucky highest bidder. Three [...]

Well look what rumor just popped out of the oven courtesy of Slashdot: Palm could be ditching WebOS for Android. In what the anonymous tipster claims is an internal memo to the WebOS software team, CEO Jon Rubinstein says: While Palm is incredibly proud of our engineers who spent timeless work and effort to bring [...]

That is the very question being asked by our friends over at Tech Dirt. With the explosion of interest in the Android Operating System and the new influx of Android powered devices could it already be too late for WebOS to catch up? It is not without precedence for Palm to open up their devices [...]

If you’re an Android-loving Sprint customer, you’ve been waiting a LONG time to get the goods you deserve. Verizon and AT&T customers have been waiting just as long, but there is a difference: On June 6th, Sprint launches the Palm Pre. In a few short weeks, Sprint customers can get the Palm Pre with an [...]

Android is going to have some stiff competition in about a month – the rumor just leaked that the Palm Pre is launching on April 30th. But this is an Android website, why the heck do we care? Well, we’d like to take a moment to welcome PalmWebOS.org into our family of websites. Since the [...]

Oh geez, where to begin… How’s the weather? And did you know that Palm is no longer comatosed on its deathbed, connected to a heart monitor with a roomful of monks praying at its bedside? Nope. Instead they announced the Palm Pre – the first phone based on Palm’s new operating system dubbed WebOS – [...]

Where in the world has Palm been these days? Oh yeah, busy releasing the Palm Treo Pro that virtually nobody seems to care much about. Perhaps Palm didn’t try too hard to get the Treo Pro Carrier subsidized because they were working on something else… like making a new Linux based Operating System. ACCESS – [...]

The sleek and stylish new Palm Treo Pro due out in September appeared to be a saving grace for quickly falling company. But early reviews from Wired and Gizmodo suggest that the appeal may end at appearance. Fortunately Palm is just using the Treo Pro to “stay afloat” while it prepares a miracle phone in [...]

If you’ve read anything about Palm in the last year, chances are it’s been bad. For example, in September of 2007 they canceled the Palm Foleo, a device they previously and proudly trumpeted as the revolutionary future of mobile computing. Then they delayed the launch of their “new” OS from 2008 to 2009, laid off [...]
