The Treo 650, arguably the most popular Palm device ever, is seeing new life today as some enterprising coder has managed to boot Google's Android OS on Palm's Treo 650. No one has a write up on how this accomplished, but you can find discussions of how this can be done.
During a call discussing Palm's financials, Palm's CEO Jon Rubinstein indicated that the company would no longer develop new Windows Mobile or Palm OS devices. Going forward, Palm will be 100% focused on development of webOS, the next generation operating system that powers the Palm Pre and the upcoming Palm Pixi.
According to Rubinstein, Palm will be “focusing all of our effort building webOS products” and all future engineering efforts will on developing webOS devices.
With all the news lately surrounding the Palm Pre, we're happy to see developers still pumping out apps for Palm OS Treo owners. The latest is 2TwitMe, a full featured Twitter app available for the Palm OS. 2TwitMe offers support for:
