Joe Hayashi Product Manager for Palm announced on the official Palm blog that there is an outage affecting the Palm Application Catalog. The outage is causing downloads and app updates to fail. Not to worry if you purchased an application during this outage you will be able to download your application again, after Palm has their issues resolved.
Update: The App catalog is not working again.
A Security research firm Intrepidus will be releasing a report next week that claims Palm's newest operating system WebOS has a large security flaw built into its core. The security flaw could allow the device to be controlled remotely. The remote control capabilities could allow the phone to be dialed remotely, and even allow information to be gleaned from the device. According to Intrepidus Aaron Higbee "Palm released this WebOS with prior knowledge that these web app vulnerabilities existed."
Michael Abbot the VP of Software and Services for WebOS at Palm has decided to resign. Abbots last day with Palm will be April 23rd 2010.
Additional information has been released this week from Elecation Partners investor Roger McNamee. According to McNamee WebOS will download all the maps that you will need for the entire day based on your calendar. Making use of GPS, Calendar, and Clock funtionality built into the phone, the new Palm software will allow your phone to know when you are late, or on time. In the event you are late, the phone can make a phone call, or even send an email on your behalf. This is a very interesting use of the GPS information, and I am certainly looking forward to this.
Palm plans to stop providing the update for the Treo 750 to move from Windows Mobile 5 to Windows Mobile 6. Users who wish to upgrade must do so by the end of October 2008. More information is available from Palm. See the creen shot below taken from the source page.
