HP Palm quietly debuts new HP Palm logo

We don’t know how this one slipped past us, but somewhere in the past few weeks (on October 19th as far as we can tell), HP and Palm ‘s logos got together to form what you see to the left: the HP Palm logo. The new, hybrid logo is on both Palm’s website and Facebook page, so this should quell any fears that the world might lose Palm’s branding all together . We don’t know what you think of the new logo — personally, we were a little partial to our own mock up .

Eye-Fi gets social with the Eye-Fi View online picture portal

Yeah, we know. E-mail is like so 1999. Kids today are all about their tweets and their texts, but if grandma can decode a digital picture at all pretty much the only way she’s going to get it is via e-mail, and Eye-Fi is making that easier. It’s launched Eye-Fi View, an online sharing site not unlike your Picasas or your Flickrs , except that pictures are (nearly) instantly and automatically uploaded straight from the camera, where they can be shared (or not shared) with others. Users can also set up e-mail alerts so that grandma can get a private link to Gerard’s graduation photos. Eye-Fi View is free if you don’t mind your pictures disappearing after seven days, but if you want unlimited storage for an unlimited time you’ll need to step up to the $4.99 monthly or $49.99 annual plans.
