Palm to Abandon Windows Mobile….Will Stick With WebOS

Palm’s Jon Rubinstein just made it official during their financial results conference call: Palm is only going to develop WebOS devices from now on. So long Windows Mobile Devices:
“Due to importance of WebOS to our overall strategy, we’ve made the decision to dedicate all future development resources to the evolution of WebOS. Which means that going forward, our roadmap will include only Palm WebOS-based devices.”
Does this mean the end of the Treo line? Not necessarily, Rubinstein prefaced the above comment by emphasizing how well the WebOS can fit for business. This may mean we’ll soon see a Treo sporting WebOS!

NOt so sure about that, they need to have a following. I don't think pal m should abandon winmo so fast. Many are getting turned of from the pre because there's isn't enough apps out there and they are slow in releasing them. Best of luck to plam, but they have to remember it was Winmo that held them over when all they had going for them was the centro.

I'm not surprised, palm is competing with WinMo it would be stupid to have they're devices running it at this point with the success of the pre and all

I can agree with the different opinions, but the one key factor is... it's to soon to just jump ship. It's not even a full year and you are claiming this is the savior.
