Is the Palm OS dying? The Washington Post wants to know
News - May 02, 2008

The Washington Post is asking the question about the aging Palm OS. Now owned by Japan's Access Software, Palm OS has been in serious decline for a long time.

PC World Contributing Editor James A. Martin calls Palm, Inc. a "third-tier smart phone vendor." That's quite a slam for the company that started the hype in the PDA space so many years ago.

Mr. Martin does give some reasons for sticking with the Palm OS including its ease-of-use. He also calls Palm's hardware "reliable and sturdy" which is questionable at best.
