DUBLIN, Ireland-Palm Inc. opened a research and development center that will develop wireless applications for mobile operators in Africa, Europe and the Middle East.
The new office aims to build custom software for Palm Treo devices running on 3G networks and implement radio technology, mobile operator-specific services and applications. The center is adjacent to Palm’s existing European Operations and Supply Chain Group, which has been based in Dublin since 1999.
“This move reflects our intention to accelerate the delivery of next-generation smart phones to European mobile operators and their customers,” said Ed Colligan, president and chief executive officer of Palm.
