IBM Helps Palm In the Enterprise
IBM and Palm have signed a co-marketing agreement that should help Palm get some traction in the enterprise space. While IBM already supports MS PocketPC devices, it does not have a similar co-marketing agreement with MS or a PocketPC hardware vendor. This is win for Palm, but customers might still ask IBM for PocketPC based solutions given more powereful hardware and stronger Exchange intergration. Despite having a better PDA interface, the Palm OS is showing its age. This deal may not have much impact until the next generation of Palm OS devices and software.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
