Symbol Bids Adieu To Palm, Start-up Seeks To Fill Void
By Shelley Solheim, ChannelWeb 8:58 AM EST Thu. Nov. 09, 2006 From the November 27, 2006 issue of VARBusiness Page 2 of 2 Enter Janam Technologies, a start-up founded by two former Symbol Technologies executives, Ron Goldman and Harry Lerner. The company, based in Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y., this week announced it has signed a five-year agreement with Access to develop and sell Palm Garnet-based ruggedized handheld devices. Janam's first handhelds will be commercially available by the end of the year. Key to the new devices was ensuring support for barcode-scanning applications written for older versions of the Palm OS, Lerner says. "We spent a lot of time making sure applications are going to port to our device perfectly," Lerner says. The new devices also add several enhancements over existing Palm-based handhelds from Symbol, which are based on older versions of the OS. Janam will launch two flavors of its handhelds: the XP30 (left), which has a QVGA color LCD; and the XP20 (right), which has a 160-by-160 monochrome display. The devices have a 266-MHz processor, compared with the 33-MHz processor in current devices. Memory is also increased to 32 MB SDRAM and 64 MB NAND. Other new features include Bluetooth connectivity, 2-D barcode scanning, a user-accessible mini SD card slot, both PDA- and numeric-style keypads, Wi-Fi protected access (WPA), and support for 802.11g. Partners who have tested out the new devices say they think the products will fill a market need.

"The Palm OS base is shrinking, but there definitely remains strong demand from customers who need an aggressive barcode scanner with a simple application at a low price point -- something that Palm OS excels at," says Brad Horn, Portable Technology Solutions, a provider of mobile barcode enabled data collection solutions. "These customers cannot afford and do not need the higher end features bundled in with the Windows Mobile and CE.Net Terminals. The Janam terminal is a great fit for these price sensitive customers." "There is still a Palm market out there. We found some customers were pretty upset with the end-of-life with Symbol's program," says Tom Moxley, president of Next Level Solutions, in Scottsdale, Ariz. "This will give the Palm user a good window to convert so he can do it on his timetable not with his back to the wall." There is another small provider of rugged Palm-based devices based out of New Zealand, called Aceeca, although its devices are based on an older version of the Palm OS. Janam will sell its devices mainly through the channel, Lerner says. List pricing ranges from $995 to $1,295. Jeff Schwartz contributed to this article << Previous | 1 | 2

Symbol Concludes Palm OS Licensing Agreement
Posted By: Kris Keilhack on Friday, November 10, 2006 10:08:49 AM CRN has posted an article concerning not only the cessation of Symbol's Palm OS product line but also some key background info on Janam Technologies. It states that Symbol is now taking its last orders for its ruggedized SPT1550 and SPT1800 industrial handhelds. Symbol's interest in the Palm OS has been on the wane for several years as its newest models, the SPT-1800 series, still run OS 4.0 with 33mhz Dragonball CPUs and 160x160 monochrome screens. In all likelihood, Symbol has likely only maintained its Palm OS license this long to service long-term contracts and the large installed device base. Symbol has notified its customers that its final batch of Palm OS-based ruggedized industrial-style handhelds will ship in January. They claim the decision to terminate Palm OS device production was reached not only due to economic factors but Access' lack of interest in the Garnet OS in the company's long-term plans. In September, Motorola agreed to acquire Symbol Technologies in a deal valued approximately $4 billion dollars. Their EOL announcement is likely to shock and anger many long-time customers who need reliable and affordable solutions for inventory management and barcode scanning applications but may prove a boon to Janam as a new startup. Janam was just founded by two former Symbol Technologies executives, Ron Goldman and Harry Lerner. The company just announced a five year licensing deal for Palm OS Garnet and two new modern barcode-scanning handhelds. CRN's article also interestingly gives rough sales figures for Symbol's Palmpowered devices over the years as well as some approximate price points for Janam's various configurations which will range from $995 to $1,295.
