Palm

OMG, you can almost hear the giant props of the B-52 required to drop this bomb. As other commenters have pointed out, it can't decide if it wants to be an iPhone SE or an Apple Watch. It could succeed, but it is going to have to be cheeaaaap. Which it won't be, 'cuz you know, lifestyle.

It seems this device works even when it's nowhere near your "full" phone. Too bad it'll basically require a second data plan.

I wonder how much they paid to acquire that Instagram @palm account (unless someone who works for them registered it early... Let alone the palm.com domain)

Isn't this just an iPhone SE?

I think you meant to say "Apple Watch".

It’s trying to be a phone companion, like a smart watch but in your pocket. Phones are getting bigger and bigger so this is a way to get a second screen experience without constraining that experience to a 1” screen on your wrist.

I think that’s what they are trying to do. It instantly reminds me of the memory cards of the Dreamcast.
