BEIJING--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 30, 2005-- Award-Winning Phone Now Available to Huge, Fast-Growing Market

Palm, Inc. (Nasdaq:PALM), a leader in mobile computing, in cooperation with CEC Telecom Co., Ltd. (CECT), a subsidiary of Qiao Xing Universal Telephone, Inc. (Qiao Xing Universal Group) (Nasdaq:XING), a leading manufacturer of indoor phones and mobile phones and a go-to-market partner in China, today announced the launch of the award-winning Palm(R) Treo(TM) 650 smartphone in China. With its full-featured GSM/GPRS/EDGE(1) quad-band phone, a Palm OS(R) organizer, messaging, email and web access capabilities(2) in a compact design, the localized Chinese-language Treo 650 brings the Palm mobile-solutions experience to Chinese consumers and businesses. The Treo 650 is available at key retailers in China.

CECT is an excellent fit for Palm's sales and marketing strategy in China. The collaboration taps into the growing China market, which according to IDC is expected to be close to 7 million converged devices to be shipped by 2009, representing a compounded annual growth rate of 28 percent.(3)

"Palm is thrilled to collaborate with CECT to help reach the huge market potential in China and redefine the smartphone experience there," said John Hartnett, Palm senior vice president for worldwide sales. "We look forward to serving Chinese mobile professionals and businesses with a tool that helps them stay connected to important information, whether it's in the corporate data center, on the web or on the smartphone itself."

"The increasingly mobile work force in China is looking for mobile devices that feature superior ease of use and excellent hardware and software integration -- all to manage their busy lives," said Gu Lei, chief operating officer, CECT. "Palm's innovative and easy-to-use smartphone, together with CECT's well-established status in the local mobile-phone market, will provide a competitive edge for Palm and help it lead the development of smartphone trends in China."

Businesses and Individuals Gain Competitive Edge with Mobility

The Treo 650 smartphone uses the powerful Palm OS platform and is supported by an ecosystem of more than 400,000 developers worldwide. Organizations across various industries -- from healthcare and government to hospitality and financial services -- have leveraged vertical applications built for the Treo 650 to boost productivity, streamline processes and tasks, and gain competitive advantage.

In addition, Palm OS applications include a large range of personal and entertainment software choices such as databases, word processors, spreadsheets, travel maps, language translators, games, eBooks and video.

The Treo 650 incorporates the Intel(R) 312MHz PXA27x processor, designed to enhance multimedia performance.

"It's Time for Treo" Campaign

To build awareness for the Treo smartphone, China is the first market in the Asia Pacific region to launch the "It's Time for Treo" campaign, positioned to address business professionals in China. The integrated marketing campaign will have outdoor, airport and print advertising, in-store merchandising, and online interactive contests to support the Treo 650.

SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 30, 2005--Palm, Inc. (Nasdaq:PALM) today announced that John Hartnett has been promoted to senior vice president, worldwide sales and customer relations. Hartnett reports to Ed Colligan, Palm president and chief executive officer.

"John's leadership and success in the Americas gives me great confidence in his ability to expand Palm's market share worldwide," said Colligan. "We've had tremendous success growing Treo smartphone sales in the United States, and we see substantial opportunities for success in Europe and Asia as well."

According to Canalys research, Palm(R) Treo(TM) smartphone shipments in the United States substantially outpaced converged device growth in Q3 of 2005. Canalys estimates that Treo unit shipments grew 77 percent in Q3 2005 compared with the year-ago period. This compares to the overall U.S. marketplace growth of 40 percent and was more than twice that of Palm's nearest competitor.

Hartnett, a native of Ireland who leads Palm's sales and customer relations for the Americas, takes on the additional responsibilities for driving growth and serving customers in Europe, the Middle East and Africa as well as Asia Pacific.

"Expanding relationships with global carriers is a key emphasis in our growth strategy," said Hartnett. "We're also focusing on sales to businesses of all sizes, which includes close collaboration with email and software partners, such as Good Technologies, Microsoft and Research In Motion."

Hartnett brings more than 20 years' experience across sales, marketing and operations in the United States and internationally. Prior to his new role, Hartnett was Palm senior vice president of Americas sales and support, and before that, he was vice president of eCommerce and accessory solutions. Hartnett joined the company upon the acquisition of Handspring, Inc., in October 2003. He had been Handspring's executive vice president of worldwide operations, service, support and eCommerce. Previously, Hartnett was senior vice president of worldwide marketing and operations for MetaCreations and the director of international operations at Claris.

Hartnett has a marketing degree from the Marketing Institute of Ireland and is a graduate of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants and Stanford University's executive-management program. He was selected by Irish America magazine as one of the Top 100 Irish-American businesspeople of 2005.

Palm - About Palm, Inc. - Investor Relations - Press Release.

Waterloo, ON - The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (“District Court”) issued a ruling today in the patent litigation between Research In Motion Limited ("RIM") (Nasdaq: RIMM; TSX: RIM) and NTP, Inc. ("NTP"). The District Court ruled that the Term Sheet entered between the parties in March 2005 to settle the litigation was not an enforceable agreement. Other details of the ruling were filed under seal by the District Court, therefore RIM cannot comment further on the details of the decision. The District Court also denied RIM's motion to stay further proceedings in the case until the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office (“Patent Office”) reaches a final determination in its reexamination of the NTP patents. As a result of today’s rulings, further proceedings will continue in the District Court.

The District Court will set up a briefing schedule and hearing date at a later time for further proceedings in the case based on the remand from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (“Federal Circuit”). The Federal Circuit decision of August 2, 2005 vacated the injunction and damages award originally entered as a result of the District Court trial in 2002 and remanded the case to the District Court for further proceedings. The Federal Circuit decision also reversed or vacated the infringement finding on 9 of the 16 litigated patent claims.

As previously disclosed, RIM will file a request that the U.S. Supreme Court accept an appeal of the Federal Circuit’s August 2, 2005 decision in relation to its affirmation of infringement on 7 litigated patent claims. The process by which the Supreme Court will decide whether to hear the case is expected to occur over the next few months. While further review by the Supreme Court is generally uncommon, RIM continues to believe this case raises significant national and international issues warranting further appellate review.

During the upcoming proceedings, the District Court will be asked to decide a variety of matters relating to the litigation, including the impact of the Federal Circuit’s reversal of infringement findings on issues of liability and damages. RIM also expects NTP to ask the District Court to enter a new injunction prohibiting RIM from providing BlackBerry service and from using, selling, manufacturing or importing its handhelds and software in the United States. The District Court will schedule briefings and a hearing prior to deciding each of these matters. RIM maintains that an injunction is inappropriate given the specific facts of this case, including:

* the outright rejection of all NTP patent claims in rigorous initial Office Actions* already issued by the Patent Office;
* the fact that the Patent Office is expected to begin issuing its next Office Actions (which will take into account NTP’s responses to the initial Office Actions) in the coming weeks;
* RIM’s upcoming request for Supreme Court review;
* the Supreme Court’s November 28 decision to hear the appeal in the case of MercExchange v. eBay on questions relating to the propriety of injunctions in patent litigation; and
* public interest concerns relating to any potential suspension or interruption of BlackBerry service in the United States.

RIM believes these factors should hold significant weight in any decisions relating to an injunction, however it will ultimately be up to the courts to decide these matters and there can never be an assurance of a favorable outcome in any litigation.

As a contingency, RIM has also been preparing software workaround designs which it intends to implement if necessary to maintain the operation of BlackBerry services in the United States. Further details will be made available if such implementation becomes necessary.

RIM is reviewing any potential accounting implications of the latest developments and will provide a further update as soon as practicable.

* The rejections of NTP patents in the initial Office Actions issued by the Patent Office were based in part on prior art not considered in the District Court trial in 2002 and were derived through a recently improved Patent Office process whereby reexamination decisions now require thorough review and unanimous agreement from a panel of supervisors and senior patent examiners (see press release titled “USPTO IMPROVES PROCESS FOR REVIEWING PATENTS” at http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/com/speeches/05-38.htm).

I’ve had a Blackberry for about a week and I already understand the sentiment being expressed in this article. It’s no wonder users call it a crackberry.

"I'm addicted to this thing," says one CEO. But what if the connection shuts down?

What would a day without the BlackBerry be like? John A. Edwardson, chief executive of tech distributor CDW Corp., ponders the question over a breakfast of poached eggs, bacon, and decaf in a Manhattan hotel. He picks up his BlackBerry from the table, turns it over, then can't bring himself to imagine such a dire possibility. "Let me get this out up front: I'm addicted to this thing," he says. "Seriously, in my opinion, this is the most important productivity tool that has come out in my lifetime. You think of something in the middle of the night. Bang. You take care of it right away."

THE MIDLANDS/YORKSHIRE, UK - November 23rd 2005 - Astraware and Revolution Software are excited to announce the release of Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars for Palm OS(R) handhelds. The game has been developed by Revolution Software, the original creators of the Broken Sword series, and is published by Astraware.

Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars is an epic adventure which takes you around the globe in a desperate race to unlock the ancient mysteries of the Knights Templar.

Originally created for PC and PlayStation, and now available for PalmOS(R) handhelds, Broken Sword is the story of George Stobbart, an American tourist on vacation in Europe, who becomes embroiled in a terrifying conspiracy when he witnesses the theft of an ancient manuscript and the assassination of its owner. The manuscript, created in the 14th century by the order of the Knights Templar, points to where their legendary power has been hidden for over six hundred years. Befriending a photojournalist, Nico Collard, the two find themselves on a global trail that ultimately reveals a deadly secret that will change their lives forever.

Just as in many modern mystery books, you will become immersed in the unfolding story as you guide George through the game, looking for clues, talking to witnesses, and following the trail as it takes him from Paris to Ireland, Syria and beyond.

Avid PDA users are already excited about the release. Jan Galbraith from Palm Addict told us: "I have been playing Broken Sword and it has knocked my socks off! Having never before played an adventure game, I was delighted to find that it is like "experiencing" a good mystery story. This game, with its interesting characters, exotic locales, and stunning graphics, has grabbed me, and I can't wait to find out what happens, but I don't want it to end!"

Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars is released on November 23rd for specified high resolution Palm OS(R) 5.0 handhelds* priced $29.95. The Windows Mobile(R) for Pocket PC version will follow in February 2006.

FAKE AntiVirus - GUARDIAN for Palm OS at PalmGear.com

Application Description

PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS NOT A REAL ANTI-VIRUS APPLICATION. IT ONLY MAKES PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT YOUR PALM IS INFECTED AND CAN’T BE USED FOR SOME TIME, KEEPING THEM FROM YOUR PALM. IT DOES NOT PROTECT YOUR PALM FROM VIRUSES, WORMS, OR ANY OTHER THREATS. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING INFO CAREFULLY!

DTMP1 – Palm GUARDIAN AntiVirus is enhanced version of applications used from keeping your friends and family from playing with your Palm when you don’t want them to. Basically, it disguises itself as a game – ‘Book of Secrets 2’ – and when you start playing, it simulates virus alert and runs fake AV software. However, ‘scan’ is running in endless loop, and you can’t use your Palm UNLESS YOU PRESS THE SCROLL UP BUTTON DURING THE SCAN!

Here are some of the advantages over similar programs available:

1. Nice GUI
2. Realistic look and feel
3. Small size
4. Bug-free

PalmBible+ by Yih-Chun Hu - A free Bible reader under the GPL license

What is Bible+?

Bible+ is a free (GPL -licensed*) Bible reader for Palm OS derived from the original BibleReader that was created by Poetry Poon. BibleReader was previously hosted here at SourceForge , and was open-source under the GPL. Since then, Mr. Poon has taken his project commercial, allowing him to sell copyrighted versions (such as the NIV), but also preventing others from fixing or adding features to his latest project. Though it'd be nice if he kept the display code open-source and used only a closed-source decoding module, I do see some benefits tChinese Union and Greek NT.o a commercial scheme.

Some features:

• Fast Display Engine
• Cross-references (double-tap the verse number)
• Fast book selector, completely-Graffiti Goto
• Fast (ARMlet) search engine with transliteration, stop and resume
• Notes page for fast notetaking (with export to MemoPad)
• Built-in languages: Hebrew, Accented Greek, Interlinear Greek, "Thin" font
• Simultaneous Hebrew or accented Greek with Chinese
• Large Font option
• Copy word/verse/screen to clipboard
• Snapshots for search and navigation
• Highlighted bookmarks on color devices
• Extensive Graffiti shortcuts
• Footnote support
• Drag Scrolling
• Dual Version Display
• Browser-like operation
• Customizable Preferences
• Sony CLIE HiRes+ (native!) and HiRes (with FontHack123)
• Palm Dynamic Input Area (320x480 and 480x320)
• Runs on Palm OS 3.5 and up
• Dictionary lookup on double tap via Plucker Plugin Interface (PPI)
• Customizable Fonts

Palm Bible :: Bible With You (NLT)

The Holy Bible, New Living Translation was first published in 1996 and its second edition appeared in 2004. The challenge for the translators of the NLT was to create a text that would communicate as clearly and powerfully to today's readers as the original texts did to readers and listeners in the ancient biblical world. The resulting translation, that quickly became one of the most popular Bibles in the English-speaking world, is easy to read and understand, while also accurately communicating the meaning and content of the original biblical texts. The NLT is a general-purpose text especially good for study, devotional reading and to be read aloud in public worship.
