Well, normally we don’t tend to post any kind of rumors on our website but this was too tempting to be skipped. According to a leading financial website the world’s number one mobile phone manufacturer is showing interest in acquiring the troubled Palm.
It is a well known fact that the company which is behind the development of one of the most exciting touchscreen devices of the year, the Palm Pre is going through a touch time lately.
If the rumors are to be believed then definitely the company will find it difficult to refuse the offer from Nokia. Despite the fact that the budget that the R&D department of the company has is 10 times smaller than the giant Finnish company, Palm Pre successfully managed to come out with a touchscreen device which is more fluid and user-friendly than Symbian S60 5th edition. This makes things quite clear that why such a small company interests the giant and the acquisition sounds quite sensible too as it would allow Nokia to close the gap with its competitors.
As of now this is just a rumor and both the companies are reluctant to speak anything on this issue. So we guess that we can simply wait and watch how far the news is to be believed.
I’ve had my Pre since shortly immediately after launch and am glad to find (through this forum) that I can now set a ring tone on incoming text messages and can seek by means of e-mails and such. Now is there any hope for an upcoming launch where I can research my calendar? Would make my work very much much easier, finding dates of final appointments. No other complaints, except that yesterday I was in and out of Sprint program (not unusual). I believe I used to be roaming, and looked at my calendar. Every little thing from the calendar was one hour earlier than what I had input. The clock was just one hour early as well. I was frightened to death–then, as soon as we got back into Sprint provider once more, every thing was normalized. Has this happened to everyone else?? Searching forward to answers, but please bear in mind, I’m no techie and speak English instead of techno speak.
