\"\"It\u2019s Thursday, which means it\u2019s time for another Palm Press, our weekly look at the world of Palm. It’s been fairly quiet on the Palm front of late, with the news being dominated by happenings at the Mobile World Congress. A quite bit of news slipped in from Mark\/Space, the folks behind the Missing Sync<\/a> utility. While Mac users have had 2-way calendar syncing for a while, a new Windows version has been released that offers full 2-way syncing with webOS phones, too. While many Pre or Pixi owners are content with native Google cloud syncing (and I’m one of those), some like to have their phones paired to a computer. The new Missing Sync will keep the Pre or Pixi in sync over Wi-Fi, even while sitting restfully on the Touchstone charger.<\/p>\n

A Kaufman Brothers analyst is predicting<\/a> Palm will ship one million webOS phones this quarter, a princely sum. Palm’s last quarterly numbers were released prior to the impact of the new Verizon deal for the Pre Plus and Pixi Plus, and the analyst feels this will make a big impact on Palm’s bottom line. It is predicted that around 600,000 phones will be shipped to Verizon this quarter, a volume higher than previously anticipated. If these numbers hold up, the future for Palm is much brighter.<\/p>\n
