Palm and BEA Partner to Mobilize Web Services in the Enterprise August 27, 2002 06:01:00 AM ET Industry Leaders to Enable Enterprises to Develop and Deploy Web Services And Extend Enterprise Data Access to Palm Handhelds MILPITAS, Calif. and SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Palm Solutions Group PALM, the pioneer in the field of mobile and wireless Internet solutions and a leading provider of handheld computers, and BEA Systems, Inc. BEAS, the world's leading application infrastructure software company, today announced a long-term, strategic relationship to bring Web services to Palm(TM) branded handhelds. Palm will develop tools and a device-side software suite to simplify development and deployment of mobile Web services to extend enterprise applications on Palm handhelds. Palm and BEA will work together to integrate this solution with BEA WebLogic Server 7.0(TM) and BEA WebLogic Workshop(TM) products as server-side controls. This Palm SG solution will be the first WebLogic Workshop control developed for a handheld device. A key element of this agreement is the use of Palm's new Reliable Transport technology as a core infrastructure component for this solution. Reliable Transport will provide a robust, secure, and usable platform for sending XML data back and forth between the server and Palm handhelds. The solution will be designed to easily allow Palm developers to use BEA WebLogic Workshop as the server-side programming framework, while WebLogic Workshop developers utilize Reliable Transport to send messages to and from Palm handhelds. This alliance will allow an expanded audience of enterprise developers to extend enterprise applications and data to Palm branded handhelds using Web services. Ultimately, new types of Palm handheld applications -- which can directly interface into complex, back-end business logic through the use of open-standards -- will be possible. Both Palm and BEA believe that by adopting and promoting open technology standards, they will help drive the adoption of full-scale mobile applications. This agreement supports Palm's strategy to deliver broad development support and simplify access to enterprise applications and data by integrating core mobile infrastructure into leading application server platforms such as BEA WebLogic. Palm's vision is to deliver products and solutions that offer a robust environment for developing and deploying mobile applications that provide easy access to enterprise data and applications. This is part of a series of technologies and partnership announcements designed to demonstrate that the Palm handheld is the most flexible device for building mobile enterprise applications for accessing mission-critical data via a cradle or over wireless networks. For BEA, this agreement represents the opportunity to enable strategic mobile and wireless partners -- like Palm -- to allow enterprise and application developers to easily create and deploy mobile applications, as well as extend enterprise data and Web services to Palm handheld devices on the industry-leading BEA WebLogic Enterprise Platform(TM). "Our experience and expertise with mobile business systems development helps us appreciate the significance and value of the Palm/BEA initiative," said Tracy Trent, chief executive officer, Stellcom. "We understand the challenges inherent in designing robust, secure and transactional business solutions on intermittent mobile networks. The Palm/BEA initiative directly addresses these common challenges. It integrates the capabilities of a secure, robust and highly adaptive mobile networking engine with the power and flexibility of an industry-leading, enterprise Web services development platform. This combination offers developers and systems integrators like Stellcom a powerful new foundation for developing solid mobile business solutions." "BEA WebLogic Workshop can deliver an industry-leading framework for reliable Web services capabilities to our enterprise customers," said Byron Sebastian, vice president and general manager, BEA WebLogic Workshop and BEA WebLogic Portal, BEA Systems. "With the Palm relationship, we're in a position to enable enterprises to integrate all their applications on top of a unified, simplified, extensible and mobile application infrastructure platform." "This partnership with BEA signifies the high degree of commitment Palm has to provide enterprise customers with what they need to extend their core business data and applications to wherever their employees are working," said Todd Bradley, president and chief operating officer, Solutions Group, Palm, Inc. "We believe mobility will be a key driver for successful businesses in the future. We are particularly attracted to BEA because of its commitment to industry standards and its strong track record of innovation." news.moneycentral.msn.com

Its been 3 weeks now since I turned over a new leaf, opened a new book. Decided no matter how good a stock is, I am in no position to use buy-and-hold strategy. The reason is that any stock can drift down for weeks or months in this environment. The ones I have had are Ally, Tsco, Brli, Dell, and now you can add Nwre I'll stack those 5 up against any other diversified portfolio and come out a winner. Wonderfull for those with money, time, and patience. ( and I am short of all three) So now I have to play a different game, to stay where the action is on a daily basis. .What i am doing is too complicated to be of any use to the thread, except to note some good looking longs on occasion. Basically I am short on Mu, Sch,C, Leh, etc to handle days like today Am trying to hold ally, isle, invn, dell, Ann, Tsco through use of covered calls which limits the upside somewhat but gives one some feeling of control instead just having to take what the bears hand out- like a 10% drop with no way to recover. There is no single right way to success here, one just has to find what is working and suits his assets and personality. Regards Sig I once said that Ally could be the "next Dell" , might as well say it again since everyone else ( except a few thread members), have been more wrong that right lately
