Palm has decided to close all of its retail stores in order to fully compete in the market of smartphones.

As RIM, maker of the Blackberry devices, have grown using retail stores, Palm decides to leave the retail store market. They have decided to focus on fewer programs and see what they can do more universally.

Wish the best to Palm. I personally believe its their loss. RIM has been very successful but I think it was because their products are very well advertised.

 

The HTC Touch has been rumored for over a year now. A few weeks ago some spy pictures were released but here is the real deal.

Verizon Wireless is now getting the HTC Touch in a shiny white color. It will run Windows Mobile 6 and will have the TouchFLO technology built in. Expect it in the coming weeks and my guess would be that Verizon will sell it for $299 with a 2 year contract.

Not a big fan of Windows Mobile right now. Too bloated and too slow for the price especially with Palm and Apple in the picture.

 

According to statistics provided by Google, iPhone users have used their internet more than listening to music through the built in iPod.

Not only that but, Google has recieved more bandwidth traffic from iPhones than any other cellular phone device. Big feat seeing how competitive this market is. The iPhone’s Safari browser is the benchmark in its class which explains why it is so popular.

The iPhone is the #1 contributor of bandwidth usage to Google but who is behind the iPhone?

#2 - Smartphones including Palm and Windows Mobile devices.
#3 - The rest of the phone market (Dumb-Phones)
