Well, well, welcome to 2004 Palm OS users with the announcement
that EQO's Mobile for
Skype client now supports Treo 600 and Treo 650 devices. Sorry, this isn’t a full-featured
Skype client (not that we
expected one, ever) loooong available for PocketPC devices. Rather, EQO is now providing a beta J2ME client for
your Palm OS device which must run along-side a PC plugin (yes, your PC must be running and connected to Skype for this
to work) all linking up with EQO’s service to bridge the whole shebang and provide users the ability to make and
receive Skype calls, send IMs, and view their Skype buddies' on-line status. Hey, no one said it would be easy... but
judging by feedback in the EQO community forum, it seems to work.[Via Palm Infocenter]
It's so over for PalmOS.
Current technology has rendered it obsolete and unnecessary.
Palm's general trend to such comments from CTIA was that they were waiting for the Access Linux Platform to replace the aging Palm OS. They admitted their hands were tied while waiting for PalmSource...
