Hot November: The road to CES 2011. A Palm LTE smartphone upcoming ?

WorldWideTech. Francisco De Jes�s. Nov. 2 ,2010

Six LTE (4G)  smartphones is going to announce Verizon at CES 2011 Link: http://tinyurl.com/26wkfm4

 And I was trying to get a convergence point to know if at least one of the devices is a new Palm LTE smartphone on that Verizon road.

Verizon has launched already a LTE innovation center website.  Link: http://tinyurl.com/2evvzar

And there is no doubt  Verizon needs a premier debut of their LTE networks . They said will just begin with LTE usb modems , but  Verizon is under Sprint pressure, who will have something big to tell us too, at CES 2011

HP and Palm by the other way will have their announcements, as well. The Palm Pad and new hardware designs for the next generation Palm webOS 2.0 devices. And I won�t be surprised if they come with one of  the 3  announcements , with a LTE  or maybe  with a new kind of Global phone (LTE/Wimax) (GSM/CDMA). Asking too much. Everything is possible.

Palm  need an stunning hardware to go beyond the competition. They have the world best smartphone OS already. HP said will double down the efforts to get Palm on track again. Then  I don�t see reasons to delay a new hardware. Is inminent. Don�t you think. A golden egg maybe.

If the Palm Pre 2 is the cat out of the bag. What is in the bag?

Francisco De Jes�s. October 18, 2010

A few days ago I read this article of CNET  � Palm Pre 2: Is the cat out of the bag? : http://www.cnet.com/8301-17918_1-20019262-85.html and took my attention  : the bag.

But, WHAT IS IN THE BAG? I said.

Some of you on precentral.net front page made  comments  on the CES 2011 post: �A big launch of Palm webOS  devices� ,  �The Super Pre�  � The Super Phone � �The Palm Pad�

After reading what Garnet says:

�The majority of the impact will be from 7-inch media tablets on high-end smartphones as it will be hard for a user to justify owning both when the differentiation in usage model is very limited. Users buying a 7-inch tablet might opt for a lower priced smartphone with a smaller form factor.�

And making this comparison chart :

I can observe now, to the most known smartphone brands makers (excluding that Samsung Android i9200) ,  are staying away until now from processors with speeds like 1.5, 2 ghz, dual cores or multicores like ARM A15. Link:

Although they did not know this latest Oct 2010 Garnet study (maybe) ,the consumer reaction to the market is about to change.

Time to keep conservative, perphaps, waiting some time for this holidays 2010 tablets launchs season watch.?

Will this Garnet projection come true ?

Is the Android 2.2 Froyo not so accurate as the others smartphones OS (s) ?

Is that the reason why all Androids have more  hardware power than the others?

Will the 3.0 Gingerbread match the others OS (s) ?

If that so, will the others then match the Androids in hardware specifications ?

Too late?  Android for that time will be number one ?

No more cats on the bag? Just the Palm Pad launch for the CES 2011?

Verizon Launching Six 4G Phones at CES 2011

Verizon has said it will roll out its next generation LTE network in 38 cities in the first half of 2011. Not only that, but the network is promising six 4G phones to go along with the rollout.

If you're tired of hearing about your roommate's EVO 4G, then rest assured you won't have to wait long before you can rub your fancy new 4G phone from Verizon in his face. Speaking at CTIA 2010, Verizon president and COO Lowell McAdam said the company's LTE network would go live in 38 cities when it launches in the first half of 2011.

Though McAdam didn't give any specifics when it came to a launch date, the newly-appointed executive did say that we can look forward to the unveiling of half-a-dozen 4G handsets at CES 2011 in January. While that's no indication of an LTE roll-out, it's hard to imagine the network announcing phones six months in advance, especially when you consider the speed the smartphone industry moves at.

Verizon's CES keynote has been confirmed for months now with CEO Ivan Seidenberg named as the representative doing all the talking. However, up until now it's been a mystery as to what the keynote would be about. McAdam didn't mention anything else about the company's CES event but that doesn't necessarily mean it's going to be an occasion dedicated to just 4G technology. We'll keep you posted on this one.

Palm and HP will be at CES 2011 Jan 6-9. Time for the webostablet or smartphone, or both?

Francisco De Jes�s September 29, 2010

As you can see  on the links below. I made a search on the exhibitors CES 2011 directory and found that Palm will be at the booth N246 and HP at the booth 31412.(images information below) Right time for an announcement of the new Palm Pad webos tablet, a new Palm webos smartphone or both? For sure the next ePrint HP printer all in one with the  Palm Pad bundle would be interesting to see, as well.

Those probably new devices will be LTE 4G ready? able to stream live videos and capable to pair to each other, keeping the Foleo concept?

The tablet and the smartphone with a ARM Cortex A15 (8 cores),perhaps ?

What do you expect?

The Palm Pad may look like this? : HP Palm: The Weblet (webos tablet) mock up. Made by brentidowney, Canada.
