The change to flash memory from DRAM (dynamic RAM) for PalmOne's new Treo 650 smart phone appears to have had the unintended consequence of reducing the amount of memory that is actually available to users. As a result, PalmOne plans to offer a free 128MB expansion card to Treo 650 purchasers to get around the problem, the company said Monday.

Originally slated to debut before the end of 2007, the completely revamped version of Palm OS, which is found in Palm's Treo smartphones and PDAs, has been delayed until sometime next year. The company has reportedly been running into development slowdowns building the new Linux-based platform.

(InfoWorld) - I search, therefore I am. That was the rude lesson AOL subscribers learned last month when the Internet giant thoughtlessly released reams of data on searches that its users conducted. Sure, the usersâ identities were removed, but as people quickly figured out, you can tell a lot about who somebody is by looking at what theyâre looking for. Now it turns out that those Blackberries and smart phones we drag around with us are talking, too. Mobile device security company Trust Digital reported last month that used smartphones and PDAs for sale on eBay can reveal reams of information â 27,000 pages, to be exact â about their former owners. The company purchased 10 mobile devices from eBay and salvaged data, including personal banking and tax information, corporate client records, product road maps, computer passwords, and contact address books, the company said in a statement. Most of the data was in the flash memory of the devices because the previous owners didnât properly cleanse the equipment using a âhard resetâ that would have erased the data. With the use of multifunction mobile devices growing rapidly within corporations, mobile data leaks are already a big problem, and enterprises should be investigating software to secure data on mobile devices, Trust Digital said. Luckily, the Trusted Computing Group (TCG) is on the job. At this monthâs CTIA Wireless IT & Entertainment show, the group plans to announce new, open specifications to embed trust into mobile devices that will give added protection against data loss, as well as malicious code and spam, according to Mark Redman, principal engineer at Freescale Semiconductor and a member of TCGâs Mobile Phone Working Group, which is developing the new specification. The specifications will cover areas such as user data protection and privacy, allowing users to protect personally identifiable information, address books, and other credentials from being accessed. TCG isnât saying when mobile devices will be made available with security based on the new specifications, but a six- to 18-month gap isnât uncommon, said a TCG spokeswoman.

(InfoWorld) - Palm plans to announce a new type of mobile device on Wednesday as it continues its product-line transition from simple PDAs to more advanced smartphones. Consumer electronics vendors are rushing to develop handsets that offer mobile e-mail and Internet browsing instead of merely calendars and contact lists. Apple added fuel to this fire in January when CEO Steve Jobs announced he would launch the iPhone in June, combining the iPod music player with a digital camera, smartphone, and touchscreen display. Now Palm is telling industry watchers that founder Jeff Hawkins will unveil the new device during his talk at a trade show in Carlsbad, California called D: All Things Digital. Palm is keeping quiet about the details, even declining to brief industry analysts ahead of the announcement. But one possibility is theÂ Linux-based smartphoneÂ that Palm CEO Ed Colligan has promised to release before the end of 2007. Such a device would improve performance compared to Palm's current Treo by running the Palm OS on top of a Linux kernel, Colligan told analysts at the company's annual investor day in April. Palm will also continue to use Microsoft's Windows Mobile OS. In the PDA segment,Â vendors used Windows on 62.1 percent of handsets in the first quarter of 2007, compared to just 0.7 percent for Linux, according to Gartner. By continuing to develop applications on both tracks, Palm hopes to win customers by offering them more options with its Treo smartphone than competitors like Research in Motion's BlackBerry, Motorola's Q, and Samsung's BlackJack. Another possibility for Palm is to re-architect its Treo into a more stylish, consumer-friendly device, said analyst Jack Gold, founder of the research firm J. Gold Associates. "They are being left behind by the likes of BlackBerry and Nokia and Moto as far as device design goes," Gold said. "I wouldn't be surprised to see a new navigation paradigm but not too far away form a standard phone. They don't want to lose their bread and butter clients, who are mostly business users who want an e-mail device."
