<p>Heaven knows why Palm devices haven't caught on but now they are owned by HP, the roll-out of devices has increased and hopefully with more marketing muscle and distribution the company can make new ground - but then again for me, a device loses a lot of its allure once they are the in thing and overly popular.</p>
<p>In an attempt to gain ground on Apple and Google HP have launched three new devices to cater for all segments of the smartphone market including a tablet device. These include the compact <a title="HP Palm Veer Smartphone" href="http://www.palm.com/us/products/phones/veer/index.html">HP Veer</a>, the follow up to the Palm Pre 2 - the <a title="HP Palm Pre 3" href="http://www.palm.com/us/products/phones/pre3/index.html">HP Pre 3</a> and the aforementioned <a title="HP Palm TouchPad" href="http://www.palm.com/us/products/pads/touchpad/index.html">HP TouchPad</a>.</p>

<p>Following an announcement earlier this week by the new CEO Stephen Elop that Nokia is "<a title="BBC: Nokia at crisis point, warns new boss Stephen Elop" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-12403466">standing on a 'burning platform</a>" and in the wake of the company losing market share to Apple and Google, the company has decided to take a bold step and team up with Microsoft.</p>
<p>The Windows Phone 7, although receiving some rave reviews is still in its infancy having only been around for a few months and represents a huge risk for Nokia. For Microsoft it is great news and will allow them to increase their market share rapidly on the back of the Worlds largest handset manufacturer.</p>
