In Japan, you’ll soon be able to access ATMs with just your palm and a PIN

shady ATM cash stock 1024

First coins were too heavy so we moved to notes. Then notes were too numerous and we streamlined to credit cards. Now, your wealth can be literally contained within the palm of your hand. Japanese bank Ogaki Kyoritsu will soon start accepting palm authentication, allied to a PIN and date of birth verification, as enough proof of identity before releasing cash from ATMs.

Biometric identification methods are already commonplace in Japanese banks, but the novelty here is that Ogaki Kyoritsu will dispense with the need for a related credit card or bank book. Based in Gifu Prefecture, this is only a small regional bank, so we can consider its rollout of the new ATM system very much a pilot scheme. The plan is to install the new ATMs at 10…

HP’s three-year plan for Palm cut short by Leo Apotheker, says former CTO

apotheker air quotes

Former HP CTO Phil McKinney retired last October, and since then he’s written a book, Beyond the Obvious, that reflects on his experiences of innovating in the industry. In an interview with Rick Mathieson to promote the book, McKinney gave a little bit of insight into what went down around the decision to kill webOS for consumer devices just sixteen months after acquiring Palm. We heard before that it was a simple matter of the platform not performing well enough, but McKinney says that there was a three-year program in place for webOS that was cut short by Leo Apotheker, and the company was supposed to have operated hands-off during that time.

“Palm had been struggling and HP was stepping in, doing the acquisition, and we were…

Former Palm CEO Jon Rubinstein leaves HP

Jon Rubinstein, the former CEO of Palm, has left HP. AllThingsD broke the news Friday afternoon, noting that Rubinstein had served his promised 12-24 month tenure with the company before leaving. “Jon has fulfilled his commitment and we wish him well,” HP spokeswoman Mylene Mangalindan told AllThingsD. Rubinstein led the team responsible for the original iPod and left Apple in 2006 to eventually join Palm as CEO in 2009. While at Palm, Rubinstein was responsible for, among other projects, the development of the Palm Pre and Palm’s webOS mobile operating system, both of which were transferred to HP in 2010 When it acquired Palm for $ 1.2 billion. HP has since open-sourced the mobile operating system after failing to gain traction with its

Former Palm execs say webOS was doomed from the beginning

HP recently made the decision to open source webOS, the mobile operating system it acquired when it bought Palm in April, 2010. While it’s arguable that HP was responsible for the demise of webOS, several former Palm executives told The New York Times that the operating system was doomed from the start. “Palm was ahead of its time in trying to build a phone software platform using web technology, and we just weren’t able to execute such an ambitious and breakthrough design,” former senior director of software at Palm Paul Mercer said. “Perhaps it never could have been executed because the technology wasn’t there yet.” Mercer explained that webOS relied too heavily on WebKit, which meant applications weren’t able to

HP reportedly tried to offload Palm assets for $1.2 billion

Hewlett-Packard has made some wild decisions regarding Palm and webOS following the acquisition in 2010. HP bought Palm for $ 1.2 billion in April of last year, killed webOS hardware, and then reportedly tried to sell Palm and the dead operating system for $ 1.2 billion, VentureBeat said Wednesday. Among the companies approached by HP? Facebook. According to the report, HP tried to offload webOS to the social network but the company was “practically laughed out of the room” by Facebook executives. HP eventually cut its losses and announced that it would contribute webOS to the open source community. Then, earlier this month, HP stunned the industry again when it said new webOS hardware, including a possible new tablet, is in development. Read

Microsoft Pink

It’s been rumored for a very long time that Microsoft was working on a new mobile project dubbed Pink. Headed by the Danger/Sidekick team that Microsoft acquired, Project Pink was supposed to incorporate Zune and debut other popular features currently absent from Windows Mobile. A few weeks ago, leaked images of what the phones could look like had many people scratching their head if Microsoft is serious about this. Today, MobileCrunch received news from a source who was either on the team or knows lots of info about Microsoft’s Project Pink.
