US blog Review Palmwebos Platform development process

Lead: Business Insider, US science and technology blogger, said in a statement today that HP announced in Thursday that it would abandon the operation of all webOS devices, a move that surprised outsiders.　　Hewlett-Packard acquired Palm for 1.2 billion dollars in April 2010, acquiring the company's hardware business and its software business around webOS.　　The following are the developments in Palm and HP's mobile phone business over the past few years: Jon Rubinstein, a former Apple hardware engineer, Jon Rubinstein Apple's former hardware engineer, Jon Rubinstein (Jon Rubinstein). Palm lagged behind in the smartphone industry in 2007, so it is in dire need of a leader to understand emerging consumer electronics and to push for the development of smartphones that are different from previous Palm Treo. At the time, Palm found the hardware architect Rubinstein, Apple's first generation ipod, to develop the Palm Pre handset and webOS system.　　In 2009, when the Palm Pre was released at CES 2.2009 January, Rubinstein released the Palm Pre at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) and aimed at the iphone. The Palm pre was released at the CES exhibition in 2009 and has attracted close attention from the industry. This is Palm's first new generation of smartphones, with an all-new operating system called webOS. An important feature of the system, called "Synergy", helps users easily synchronize contact information from all e-mail accounts. In addition, the Palm pre also has a charging accessory called touchstone.　　The Palm pre was a competitor for the upcoming iphone 3GS.　　In January, palm investor Roger Maiknemy Roger McNamee praised the Palm Pre as an "iphone killer". Investment company Elevation Partners Partner Maiknemy is the earliest evangelist in the Palm Pre. "The Palm Pre was the first cell phone to truly meet the needs of the users, and the phone will help Palm succeed," Kara Svesh Kara Swisher, a Wall Street Journal columnist, said. But Business Insider blogger Henry Bloggit, Henry Blodget, said the Palm pre was too late and therefore unlikely to grow.　　Palm revenue has continued to fall for 4.2009 years in February, and it is widely believed that palm needs a product that will succeed.　　Palm's revenues have been slipping for years, and it is believed that Palm needs a product that will succeed. Palm revenue declined in 5.2009 and April, but with the palm pre being marketed, Palm shares rose. There's been a lot of rumors around the palm Pre. Analysts and evaluation sites are very bullish on the phone. On the eve of the Palm Pre launch, Palm shares rose sharply.　　The Palm Pre was launched in June by Sprint 6.2009, and the Palm Pre was launched by Sprint and was able to sync with Apple itunes. The Palm pre was launched exclusively in June 2009 by Sprint. On the June 10, Rubinstein was promoted to Palm CEO several days after the Palm Pre was marketed. The Palm Pre did not offer alarm clock applications at the start of the launch, which has frustrated many users who plan to use the Palm Pre as their primary mobile phone. Palm solved the problem in a few weeks after the upgrade. Also surprisingly, the Palm pre can disguise itself as an ipod, enabling synchronization with itunes.　　Rubinstein's experience in developing ipods played an important role.　　7.2009 years June, the review showed that the palm pre was a good phone but still less than the iphone. Walt Mossberg, an expert on the Wall Street Journal's digital product Review, said the Palm pre was a "beautiful, innovative, versatile handheld computer and a product of the iphone" Walter Mossberg. At the same time, however, the reviewers also found some flaws in the phone, such as the lack of an app store, some vulnerabilities, a small keypad, a short battery time, and so on.　　Some users also say the phone has a quality problem, and the phone's bottom edge is very sharp and can even be used to cut cheese.　　In the summer of 8.2009, Apple and palm were in sync over itunes. Within months of the Palm Pre's launch, Apple and Palm had a dispute over the itunes sync problem. Palm was synchronized with itunes by upgrading to the Palm Pre, and Apple subsequently blocked the behavior. Then palm was upgraded again, and Apple blocked again. Eventually Palm gave up the effort.　　Users can only sync music with old-fashioned drag-and-drop operations.　　In the 9.2009 August, palm broadcast a Palm pre ad that was not popular with consumers.　　Palm has played a unique and bizarre ad for the Palm Pre, and almost all consumers dislike the ad.　　In the 10.201 years of February, Palm's handsets began to slow, despite cooperation with Verizon Wireless. A few weeks after Verizon Wireless started operating the Palm pre and Pixi two handsets, Palm announced that the smartphone sales were poor. Palm then lowered its revenue forecasts, with rumours that Palm would look for a buyer for the company. Subsequently, the Palm pre and Pixi entered the AT&Amp;　　T network.　　Apple's App store developed rapidly in the 11.201 March, while Palm lagged far behind in its application. March 2010, there are still no developers to develop applications for the Palm Pre. Pre Plus and Pixi also face this problem. It is widely believed that the smartphone platform will not be successful without applications.　　The app then quickly became the "killer feature" of Apple iOS.　　12.201 years April, HP bought palm at 1.2 billion dollars. In April 2010, HP announced that it would acquire palm and inherit its hardware and software business. Elevation has benefited enormously from the acquisition, earning $25 million trillion.　　Dan Flom, a well-known technology blogger, predicted that HP's move would eventually fail and return to Windows or Android, and Windows and Android would be the leading consumer electronics platform in the next few years.　　In February, Hewlett-Packard announced the launch of the Touchpad Tablet and the pre 3 smartphone this summer. February 2011, Hewlett-Packard announced the launch of Touchpad Tablet PC. The tablet, designed by HP, uses the Palm WebOS 3.0 system. The tablet was scheduled for July this year and HP will launch the pre 3 smartphone in August.　　This March, HP also announced that webOS would appear in all HP PCs next year.　　14.2011 years May, HP announced the launch of the first Palm platform smartphone veer. HP announced the launch of its first smartphone veer after the acquisition of Palm in May 2011. The phone, called HP Veer 4G, is very similar to the Palm Pre.　　The phone's keyboard is very "cute", but because the keypad is too small, it cannot be used as a major mobile phone.　　In the 15.2011 year August, Touchpad failed to achieve success and sold less than 25,000 units in the first month. In the first month of the launch, the Touchpad tablet sold only 25,000 PCs. Despite good reviews, consumers still rarely buy the product. Hewlett-Packard was then forced to slash touchpad prices and offer discounts to users of the palm Pre.　　At present in the United States nationwide Best Buy stores, there are 200,000 touchpad backlog.　　In the 16.2011 August, HP announced that it would abandon all webOS equipment. August 18, Hewlett-Packard announced it will abandon the hardware business from palm, which means that HP will abandon the pre, Pixi, veer and touchpad. Hewlett-Packard just launched the pre 3 in the UK on August 17. However, Hewlett-Packard said it would still retain the webOS system and would sell the system or sell the system's authorization in the future. (Chu Yue)
