LG Licenses Palm OS

Jul 6, 2005, 12:08 PM by (staff)

PalmSource today announced that LG Electronics has licensed the Palm OS for use worldwide. Last week when the company announced it had signed a "top five" handset manufacturer, many (including PhoneScoop) believed LG to be the logical conclusion. Not only will the move continue LG's tradition of matching Samsung's product line, but it will finally give the company a smartphone platform for the West. LG currently does not have any smartphones for Europe or America. LG has not announced any Palm OS smartphones yet, nor did the company say when they would have any models available.

How is this following Samsung move for move?

Samsung has had a palm OS phone since some time around palm os 4.0. They've probably made 3 or 4 of them in my recollection.

Even disregarding the above, what recent move by Samsung could be construed as supporting the PalmOS? It's been a while since their last PalmOS phone, and recently they've only made a number of Microsoft phones.

LG - Please give me a EVDO Smartphone running Palm OS 6.1!

Now that LG has licensed the Palm OS, I'd love to see them create an EVDO capable Smartphone running Palm OS Cobalt 6.1 for Verizon Wireless. I'm about to give up on waiting for an EVDO Palm OS Smartphone and get the Samsung i730 which runs Windows Mobile for Pocket PCs.
