Easy Tour - aka SplashTravel

[wellsjs]

Looks like another Palm application sell-off (similar to HandsHigh's sale of Slap which was rebranded Snap), this time SplashData appears to have sold SplashTravel to DeluxeWare who has rebranded it Easy Tour.

Easy Tour (http://www.palmgear.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=software.showsoftware&PartnerREF=&siteid=1&catid=0&area=software.newupdated&searchtitle=Search%20Results&searchterm=&step=1&orderby=modificationdate&direction=asc&userid=0&prodid=110869)

Is this part of the end-game for the aging (due to lack of OS development), cracking at the foundation, Palm OS software empire? :confused:

PS - on further investigation, it appears a newer version of SplashTravel is alive and well, so SplashData must have just sold the rights to the older version, which I have (so I ought to recognize it). Could it be another PalmGear trick? :(

Thanks for the clarification. My version, which looks just like the link, has SplashData branding all over it and is called SplashTravel. So if it looks like a Ford, drives like a Ford, something breaks everyday like a Ford, you still, in the end, never know if it's a Ford? :confused: :rolleyes: :p :D

Hi,

The app used to be called Travel Deluxe or Deluxe Travel.

Been a while since I have looked around the Palm stuff.

Isn't SplashTravel a later version of EasyTour? ST seems to have more features and a higher price tag. So it seems that Deluxeware sold the code to Splashdata, who then enhanced it and will come out with the new versions (kinda like they did with Splashclock which is just a version of PalmaryClock).
