RE: That makes me sad!
You're forgetting that Palm already has manufacturing capacity that can be used to make new models. I suspect the reason they're scouting new production facilities is that they're either looking for a better deal, or they want to increase production above what they are able to do with their current facilities and outsourcing contracts.
This is not bad news. I'm not sure it's even news. Get a life.
Cheaper hand-held computer?
BOOOOOO!
can't solder well I guess!
RE: BOOOOOO!
Semiconductor firms based in Taiwan have been moving their factories out to Mainland China for the same reason--lower labor costs.
As for quality, would Palm really just blindly commit its resources without first evaluating the factories' capabilities? I think not.
RE: BOOOOOO!
There is considerable investment in China from Taiwanese companies, in addition to finance, they bring the skills & quality controls that have made Taiwan the worlds largest source of notebook computers.
I live in Asia but am not Asian, I'm kinda tired of people outside of the region knocking the capabilities & standards here.
Your comment re 14 y/o's soldering capabilities demonstrates your lack of understanding of the region.
Taiwan Not China!
