Sony Takes Palm OS in Hand

In a deal that may put the Palm in the hands of millions of people's consumer electronic devices, Sony has licensed the popular handheld operating system.

In return, Palm Computing will incorporate Sony's Memory Stick technology into its handhelds, the companies said at the Comdex trade show in Las Vegas on Monday.

The alliance has the potential to vastly increase the number of Palm OS devices, positioning Palm as the Microsoft of the handheld era.

The Sony announcement comes just weeks after Nokia said it will use Palm's handheld operating system to run the next generation of smart cell phones.

"This cooperation is the first step toward establishing a powerful new consumer electronics platform for accessing a broad range of wireless based network services and content," said Kunitake Ando, president and COO of Sony?s Personal IT Network Company in a statement.

Sony will put the Palm OS "into an entirely new line of handheld electronics products that will not be limited to electronic organizers but are expected to include a wide range of mobile wireless telecommunications-enabled AV/IT consumer electronics products," the statement said.

In addition, the partnership will add Memory Stick and audio-visual technologies to the Palm OS that will be available to other Palm OS licensees, the companies said.

Sony's self-explanatory Memory Stick allows information to be stored and exchanged between compatible devices.

Bill- You said it better than I could Re: the technology

I think this ENTU release comes close to validating (if we needed it) this whole wireless space. ECC is VERY efficient(important for handhelds). We get hooked in with Sony or the Nordic phone guys and WHOA stand back
