Comments on: Palm's Annual Report Gives Hints of the Future

Palm has filed their fiscal year 2000 annual report with the SEC. It reveals some interesting things about Palm's plans for the future and confirms a few others.

To no one's surprise, sales of their handhelds still make up the lion's share of their revenues. They predict that licensing the Palm OS and their wireless Internet access service (Palm.Net) will make up a "relatively small portion of our total revenues" in FY 2001, though they predict an increasing percentage will come from these in the future.

If they're smart, they'll acquire one of the LCD manufacturers so they can control the supplies of this critical part which seems to have held them back on more than one occasion.

i think they should acquire AvantGo, thereby merging the Palm.net content with AvantGo's channels for low-bandwidth internet access.
