: G5 ~- a8 X3 X" h. o* _CES 2009: Palm's New Nova Phone, What We Know Now
3 X: j9 C! Z9 I& o( _& E* ^4 O
/ j; \9 n0 b- d- HThe biggest cell phone story of this week's upcoming CES show, Palm's new Nova operating system and phone have remained startlingly unleaked. There are no spy shots out on the Web, no product sheets, not even a carrier name. For something that Palm's been working on for years, this is information control worthy of Apple. * J( Q) z/ ]" A6 u
(I'm assuming Palm will announce Nova and a phone at their press conference on Jan. 8, but so is everybody else. Palm hasn't confirmed that they're making the announcement, but if they don't, they're toast.)

我们只知道关于NOVA的少量信息,而且没办法推测其他的信息,这里是我们目前了解的情况:
' L$ ^0 p7 h+ |: [- N1.NOVA是一个基于Linux的系统% x7 t( Y$ K ^
2.NOVA发布时将会已经配置一些可用的三方软件.1 c. W6 m0 K; K# u
3.NOVA将关注不同数据存储在不同地点的情况(数据分布式存储管理?--部分数据存在RAM里/部分存在卡上.部分根据需要会存在网络上...)& G# i$ S, ]6 T% \6 ?
4.NOVA将提供集成基于网站的社会网络(可以支持电话网络和无线网络)

$ [9 |% |& Q$ e; |6.NOVA将专注于数码发烧友(时尚数码发烧友)群体(prosumer一族),而普通消费者可以继续用Centro,商务用户可以用WM系统的Treo(如Treo Pro和800w等).( l8 b& X( X3 I! C8 c C4 q# q8 `
7.新手机将于2009年6月正式上市.(奇怪,好象比原来我印象中的提前了一个季度)

I also think it's pretty safe to guess what carrier will get the Nova phone first: Sprint. I have no inside information, but Sprint has been Palm's best friend in hard times. Every single Palm phone that was first introduced with a US carrier since May 2006 has been launched with Sprint. , g, i% m7 I2 Q6 T5 z3 O
Since the Treo 650 in 2004, Palm has released ten smartphones: the 650, 700w, 700p, 700wx, 680, 750, 755p, Centro, 800w and Treo Pro. Seven were initially launched with US carriers; the 750 was first launched overseas, and the 680 and Treo Pro were launched without US carriers attached. Of the seven initially launched with US carriers, Sprint got six first.

目前看来猜测哪家运营商可以先发售NOVA手机是比较容易的:Sprint(他们的网络基于CDMA-EVDO,机卡一体).我们并没有什么内部消息,但是Sprint在PALM最困难的时期是他们最好的朋友,自2006年起,任何一代PALM 手机在美国都会先在Sprint上发布(当然是指CDMA机器)- L& [+ {! b, j
自2004年发布650,PALM的手机一共有650, 700w, 700p, 700wx, 680, 750, 755p, Centro, 800w 和 Treo Pro..其中7款在北美运营商网络上使用.750先在海外发布,680和Treo Pro在美国没有发布运营商定制版,另外7款在北美发布的机器Sperint优先合作的有6款..

" t# _6 `& R. C- F4 d8 E) Q9 Y4 CAt this point nobody knows exactly what NOVA OS will offer us when unveiled at CES but below you’ll find at least a few thoughts about my expectations:& Z2 b2 v( l' Y% o& `. [/ g' [# b
- A stunning Graphical User Interface (GUI) that makes it a pleasure to interact with as well as being ultra-fast and ultra-intuitive (basically more of the fabulous Zen of Palm that previous Treo smartphones offered).
- A full multithreading OS that allows you to run multiple applications simultaneously (including WiFi, GPS and more).
- Best-in-class open source Linux components that have been optimized to provide a flexible, customizable and open operating system that makes it ultra-easy for third-party developers to create applications.
- Superb built-in applications for communications (Phone, SMS, eMail, IM, Browser), entertainment (video, music, streaming) productivity (PIM Contacts, Calendar, Notes/Memos, Tasks, MS Office Documents) information (Maps, GPS, Weather, Stocks, Calculator, RSS, Clock/Alarm), and social media (Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, YouTube, etc).
- Native over-the-air synchronization (“Cloud” sync) of the entire smartphone and also a full-featured desktop synchronization software with high-speed access to all data included on device and memory cards with full screen control and access to on-board apps and settings.
- Support for multiple application environments including NOVA OS, Garnet OS (compatible with existing Palm OS applications) and also JAVA (to run most existing mobile JAVA applications).
- Support for stylus + touch + full QWERTY keyboard interfaces with accelerometer (G-sensor) + handwriting recognition (new Graffiti).
- Support for large 800 x 480 pixels resolution displays with 256,000 colours in portrait and landscape modes with video-out port.
- Completely new one-click application installer.
