According to EP front page news today http://www.everythingpre.com/foxcon...types-of-palm-smartphones-in-2011/2010/10/25/ Foxcom the company who make the iphones has won the contract to manufacture the next apparently up to 6 new Palm webOS devices plus the Palm Pad. 5 devices in Foxcom (plus the Palm Pad) and 1 with Compal , both are chinese smartphones and mobile hardwares mfgs. The question is when are these devices going to be launch. Lets speculate. 1.-Palm have the prototype at least of one next gen smartphone or maybe more. 2.-Above mentioned companies were not the only companies who participate in the contest. 3.-So the schedule for devices releases could be: a) CES 2011 announcements. b)First launches dates in 3 months or less ( the Palm Pad) , June 2011 (2 smartphones devices) c)September 2011 (2 smartphones devices.) d)December 2011 (2 smartphones devices) or 4.- a) June 2011 (3 smartphones devices) b) December (3 smartphones devices) Yeah, You want a Palm superphone now, but lets be real. If Palm just agree with these 2 companies, they have to come together with a lot of things to do, a transition period until the manufacturers get along with webOS. What is your guess?
