Ian Lamont writes "Palm's fourth quarter results came out a few days ago, and they were not pretty: Palm reported losses of 40 cents per share, for a quarterly loss of $43.4 million. It's the fourth straight quarter of losses, and it's clear that the company is not faring well in the rapidly evolving smartphone market. The Treo line is lagging after seven years, and while the Centro has done well, it's not well enough to compete with the likes of the iPhone 3G and RIM's surging BlackBerry line. New competition is on the horizon, with developers and manufacturers working on the Goolge Android platform and the recent news that Symbian is being open-sourced. What happened to Palm? What can the company do to effectively compete in the mobile market, and turn its fortunes around?"

  • Has anyone considered that Palm quality has simply become the pits? I loved by Tungsten E2. Simple, limited. Didn't do much, but did what it did superbly. As a PDA; none finer. But the battery croaked, the charging circuit failed, the screen alignment is off and can't be fixed, the buttons don't work right, etc. etc. The idea is great, but the execution is garbage. Will I buy another? Not hardly. Quality counts. IMHO, they don't have it.
