Foxcom the company who make the iphones has won the contract to manufacture the next apparently up to 6 new Palm webOS devices plus the Palm Pad.
5 devices in Foxcom (plus the Palm Pad) and 1 with Compal (company who made the Treos) , both are chinese smartphones and mobile hardwares mfgs.
The question is when are these devices going to be launch. Lets speculate.
1.-Palm have the prototype at least of one next gen smartphone or maybe more.
2.-Above mentioned companies were not the only companies who participated in the contest.
3.-So the schedule for devices releases could be:

3.-So the schedule for devices releases could be:
a) CES 2011 announcements.
b)First launches dates in 3 months or less ( the Palm Pad) , June 2011 (2 smartphones devices)
c)September 2011 (2 smartphones devices.)
d)December 2011 (2 smartphones devices)
or
4.- a) June 2011 (3 smartphones devices)
b) December 2011 (3 smartphones devices)
Yeah, You want a Palm superphone now, but lets be real. If Palm just agreed with these 2 companies, they have to come together with a lot of things to do, a transition period until the manufacturers get along with webOS. UPDATE: Unless they tested already and the releases dates are close to come compared with the above mentioned possible launch dates.
What is your guess?
