Palm Press: Assassin’s Creed Hits the Small Screen; Palm OS is No More

palm-press5

It’s Thursday, which means it’s time for another Palm Press, our weekly look at the world of Palm. When Palm held its press event at the CES earlier this year it made much noise about the new games on the way. WebOS has not been known as a gaming platform and the news from Palm was certainly welcome for gamers. A classic game is here for the Palm Pre that has gamers duly excited. Assassin’s Creed is a typical RPG that looks pretty good in the screenshots on the Pre. Pixi owners should note that neither the original Pixi, nor the newer Pixi Plus, have the oomph to run the game.

Pre and Pixi owners waiting for an official Google (a goog) ersion of Google Voice for webOS can rest easier. Google has released a version of Google Voice for webOS that brings full functionality to the handsets. Note this is not an actual app that must be downloaded — it is a web site based on HTML5 that demonstrates the power of the new web technology. Just point your web browser to the mobile Google Voice site and you’ll be good to go.

Long-time Palm enthusiasts are mourning the end of an era, as Palm has shut down the old Palm OS. The company is no longer selling any Treos or Centros, focusing all effort on the current webOS. This is not surprising but it does cause one to wax nostalgic over the passing of an era.
