Software Everywhere has yet again attempted to predict Palm’s direction. Why should any Palm enthusiast care? Well because the last 3 turned out to be pretty accurate. But anyway, even it he’s wrong, it’s still an interesting read. And judging from the general direction of some other company’s announcement, moving general computing to the web seems like a good idea. In fact, Palm had a working implementation before - remember Palm.net and PQA apps? I do. I never used any but I remember the idea. Palms were pretty disconnected then so that’s probably why it didn’t take off - take up was paltry at best (I don’t have numbers though). With the Treos literally being connected all the time, now seems like a good time to revive that. With a recent announcement that Palm is tying up with Opera and Opera already has widgets available, might Palm be working on top of this platform? The general idea is that widgets provide fancy UI to display and take input from the user, but all heavy weight processing is done on the server.
