Comments on: CEO Paints a Rosy Picture of Palm's Future

Palm CEO Carl Yankowski said yesterday that his company expects to maintain its large share of the handheld market for the foreseeable future. In his speech to the investors at the Banc of America Technology Week Conference, he also said Palm has been quite successful recently in the low end of the market, selling over 535 thousand m100's in the first quarter, two-thirds of which were to students. "It was the most successful launch in our history," Yankowski said.

Thanks for the links! There is some interesting stuff going on in the market at the moment. What with MS trying to muscle in on the PDA arena (without too much success). We also have Palm moving into areas such as the Web in order to complement their core business.

Thanks for the links!

Well I hope it's rosy. I'm looking into getting a new m505 when it arrives. I sold my old palmpilotpro almost 6 months ago b/c I thought I needed more. Took my cash now and got a Philips nino on ebay for $150US. So far, I like WinCE. There are more features even on this old device than palms. But I know now from experience that I don't use all those features. I'm also using Linux & MacOS more than Windows, so of course syncing is an issue. I hope Palm can develop new devices and bring me back to the Palm Camp. Keep the prices reasonable Carl!
