Palm originally planned to achieve “parity” across all devices – whenever an OS update was to be released, all devices were to get the update at the same time.
This, however, robs Palm of an important “pressure tool” against operators, and seems to have dropped. Instead, webOS 1.4 will likely be Sprint-only for now:
While we could of course also be looking at an incomplete picture (aka 1.4 is ready for other boxen, toov – but has not been leaked so far), I personally think that Palm’s strategy is excellent. Palm needs Sprint, and Sprint needs Palm – whatever can be done to reinforce this partnership is good…
