Daily Tech: 29 Apr 2010
After weeks of speculations, it is finally announced that HP is acquiring Palm. That came as a huge surprise. Everyone was expecting (and praying) that HTC will be the one who acquire Palm. Or Lenovo, Dell or even Huawei. Nobody expected HP. Personally, I don’t know if Palm is saved now. I hope Palm don’t end up like another Compaq.
On other news, Google is bringing Android free turn by turn navigation to UK. iPhone most likely not getting any free turn by turn. See! That’s what you get for trying to sue Google’s friend.

Well the guy who talked about Singtel giving him a “MicroSIM” for his Huawei E5832 heard wrong. He’s actually getting a MicroSD fro the modem. False alarm hai!

Well they got to let us have paid apps first! Google’s still keeping mum about the delay. Anyone knows the reason why please share.
