The Good

Cool form factor that gets noticed • ‘Life’ mode mutes notifications by default • Still a full-featured smartphone

The Bad

Frustratingly slow at times • No volume buttons • Lousy battery life • Camera is only passable

The Bottom Line

The Palm phone is a compelling approach to the problem of being overconnected, but in practice the number of situations where it’s the device you’d prefer is much smaller than you think.

The new Palm is almost the MP3 player I want

sudshr47 December 14, 2018

The iPod Classic still looms larger as my favorite gadget of all time. Sure, plenty have lapped the device in terms of technology, while any lingering concerns about not owning the music I listen to have faded for the ubiquity of Spotify, but the iPod lives on in the perfect sweet spot for my own […]

Palm phone review: an idea whose time may never come

sudshr47 November 2, 2018

For such a tiny device, Palm’s got a heavy lift. On the face of it, the self-titled first product from the new startup with a familiar name isn’t too radical a departure from the smartphone set. In fact, the device resembles nothing more than a diminutive iPhone, right down to the camera placement on the […]

Fleksy’s keyboard grabs $800k+ via equity crowdfunding

The dev team that’s now engineering the Fleksy keyboard app has raised more than $800,000 via an equity crowdfunding route. As we reported a year ago, the development of Fleksy’s keyboard has been taken over by the Barcelona-based startup behind an earlier keyboard app called ThingThing. The team says their new funding raise — described […]

Why the Palm phone might be the perfect tech product for 2018

sudshr47 October 17, 2018

Phones are bad for us. But don’t worry — phones are here to save us. From phones.

That appears to be the message behind the new Palm phone, a tiny smartphone that functions as a kind of smartphone lite, intended as a companion to your main phone, which, if we’re being real, isn’t a phone anymore and hasn’t been for a while. It’s a portable device that sucks you into its world like nothing that came before, not even TV. Turns out Newt Gingrich was right about smartphones — we really need a new word for them.

The idea of a buddy for your phone that’s also a phone sounds ridiculous at first, but it actually becomes more credible the more you think about it. Because chances are you’re thinking something else every time you unlock your phone when you didn’t mean to, every time you catch yourself “zombie scrolling” in an app, every time a bubble pops down from the top of your screen that you didn’t need or want: “I’ve gotta stop this.” Read more…

Palm returns as an ‘ultra-mobile’ smartphone

sudshr47 October 15, 2018

I shared images I shot of the Palm device with a few co-workers ahead of this morning’s unveiling, and they were downright giddy. The new “ultra-mobile” device (a term us old people used to use to refer to something closer to a netbook) is a hard thing to contextualize without a picture, so I took […]

A new Palm phone might be on the horizon, and yes it is 2018

sudshr47 August 7, 2018

Remember Palm? Originally marketed as a smartphone better than the iPhone, running software called webOS and featuring a physical keyboard.
Ultimately its demise was a buyout by HP, which resulted in the short-lived HP TouchPad (a webOS tablet). Howe…

Palm-branded smartphones could return this year

sudshr47 August 7, 2018

Palm’s smartphone return appears to still be on track for 2018. Last year, an executive at TCL confirmed that the dearly departed mobile brand would be making a comeback as part of the smartphone conglomerate’s portfolio, and with a little under five months left in the year, the ‘PVG100′ has hit the FCC and WiFi […]
