Over seven years ago Palm introduced the MyPalm.com Portal as a web-based PIM, then put the kabash on it less then a year later. It looks as if Palm is reopening it as a new information, services, software and accessory store. The new site features a members only 24/7 support number, discounts on various software - including Astraware’s Sudoku for free, free shipping for members on various accessories, and specialized support for Palms. This support includes alerts for software upgrades for your Palm and some of its software. It seems that the new PalmBackup beta will be included as part of the services of MyPalm.

Right now the service is free (I wasn’t asked for a credit card during sign-up) and requires you to download a helper-app that allows you to download the free copy of Sudoku. The helper app looks like another Treo app based software store like Handmark’s InHand.

Although the site uses mypalm.com, it redirects to http://ws.palm.com/mypalm/…
