A new day

Today, Palm becomes part of the largest technology company in the world, HP.

It’s our first day together, but it’s already abundantly clear to everyone who’s been involved in bringing the two companies together that great things are in store. The combination of Palm’s trailblazing webOS and HP’s strength as the leading provider of everything from PCs, laptops, and printers to home electronics and enterprise systems promises an amazing roadmap of new tools for your mobile and web-connected future.

We’ve got a few ideas about what that future will look like, and we’ll share details as soon as we can. A big part of that future will be shaped by you, the Palm community of customers, developers, and enthusiasts. We welcome your ideas and feedback -- even your constructive criticism. Just follow @palm on Twitter or drop in at www.facebook.com/palm for tips and tricks, shout-outs for favorite new apps, wishlists for future products -- and lots of amazing photos and videos from your Palm phones (like the stunning image above from @joshhearne).

And if you want to get the big picture from HP, be sure to follow @HP_PC, visit www.facebook.com/hphome, or check out The Next Bench. 

If you’re not already an active part of the Palm community, please join us on the journey to a new future! Because life moves fast, and you really, really don’t want to miss a thing.

for starters give up the 1.4.5 update with flash and 3d gaming for the pix and pdk for the pre and pixi and thats a good way to start off :)

Congratulations on getting aquirted by a company such as HP. It's great that the wonderful Palm brand will live on.
Now, I've been begging for years now, but could you please finally release a TX with a cell radio? ;)

[Persongr]

Waiting for the new wondrous phone from Palm. Just bring it to Europe too ;)

[Neoprime33]

I have the first launch Palm Pre on Sprint and I love it; however, I am ready for an upgraded Pre. How about making this day even better by announcing what the Palm C40 is and when it will be launched. :) That would be awesome!

[Gonzzzo]

Let's make a smartphone with a bigger screen. 3D gaming is so much more fun with a bigger screen!

[FDOIII]

I am a Palm user. Cheers!

As I've said in a few other places already, congratulations, guys. Really looking forward to what comes next.

I am guardedly hopeful that Palm can develop a worthy successor to the Treo because the Pre sadly was not. Because of its shortcomings I was forced to go Blackberry and I am NOT happy with it -I really miss the Palm software.

Some constructive critisism and sugggestions:

Make a device that is like a Treo/ blackberry again but more powerful than Pixi. The Pre while a great idea is not easy to type on. Not sure if it is the form factor but the tiny, bubble keys are no good. MUST have a great keyboard. Maybe do Pre screen on one side and a Treo on the other side.

-Lots of memory with micro SD too
-Fast processor
-high res camera and video camera
-MUST sync with MS Exchange enterprise easily either directly or with Goodlink which is WAY better than Blackberry
-MUST be able to search across every major funciton easily : Calendar, tasks, memos, to do lists
-Have a great web-browsing interface
-Multi-tasking
-Exchangable battery
-Standard mini USB charger. PLEASE do not torture your clients with another proprietary plug, that is simply obnoxious.
-high resolution screen or screens

I wish HP & Palm great success in the coming years...since we will all benefit... Long Live Palm... Get 'em Boys!

[Cynthia]

I love my pre, and look forward to some new phones to go along with this great webos. Please don't put palm on the back burner. We are ready for some new stuff.

[SilvrDrgn]

Congratulations to Palm and HP! My first suggestion to you is: Be a leader, especially on mobile hardware, not a follower! (Example: the silly 5 MP camera on the iPhone 4.) Now is the time for you to blow everyone out of the water!

[Craig Wann]

Huge Palm fan! I also own a few HP products as well :). I'm really excited about this, and can't wait to see some new 4G phones and maybe a tablet. Impress me HP/Palm. Wish you the best! HP, you are going to get more than your money's worth out of WebOS!

[Joshhearne]

Congrats to Palm for joining HP. I really like HP products and own a few of their computers and printers. Can't wait for WebOS's future development.

Congratulations!!!! I just hope you keep bringing the great and innovative devices of the market!!! I love my phone, no doubt about it!!! is the most intuitive device out there!!!!

[Todd Carpenter]

I'm a LONG time Palm user going back to the Pilot days. I love my Pre, but anxiously awaiting a new phone design AND a tablet-form device.

Congrats!
