This is our 100th post, and wish you all a very happy new year. There was a time in the last 15 years when the main mobile device people used wasn't an iPhone, or made by BlackBerry. Palm was the company changing the lives of people on the go with its line of popular PDAs. Palm's Treo smartphones were well regarded, but by the time the smartphone revolution was in full swing, it was falling behind. It ended up making an earnest run with WebOS — but a botched sale to HP finally sealed the company's fate.
The company as we knew it was put down by HP back in 2011, but Palm's trademark may be gracing smartphones in the near future. If you head over to palm.com, you will be redirected to a new site, mynewpalm.com, which carries the slogan "smart move." According to documents unearthed by the Palm diehards at WebOS Nation, HP sold the Palm trademark to a shell company owned by Nicolas Zibell last month. Zibell also happens to hold the title of President, Americas and Pacific at Alcatel One Touch, the mobile phone maker. Alcatel's slogan is "smart move."
