Apple's PDA portents

LONDON -- Apple CEO Steve Jobs didn't officially announce the company's upcoming Palm-based PDA at last week's Macworld Expo/San Francisco (as I'd hoped), but he did as near as dammit confirm that an Apple-branded version of the popular organizer-cum-mobile computing platform is in the pipeline. "We've doing a lot of work with these guys lately," he said as he welcomed new Palm Computing CEO Carl Yankowski to the stage during his keynote speech. Yankowski was at the show to give the thumbs up for Mac OS X -- not something you might expect a hardware company to be too bothered about. Full story. -- Tony Smith, MacWEEK
