Comments on: Economic Slowdown to Hurt Handheld Sales (Updated)

Palm's chief marketing officer, Satjiv Chahil, warned yesterday that demand for his company's products is slowing as consumers reduce spending amid the U.S. economic slowdown.

Chahil was mis-quoted- better remove the article or get sued

Thanks, I updated the article with the new facts.

I imagine Mr. Chahil will soon be in Mr. Yankowski's office getting a royal %$$ chewing. At a time when the stock market is suffering from Mad Dow Disease, predicting a slowdown for your company to a reporter can be a disaster. Palm seems to have dodged the bullet but it could have been bad.

Agreed. I wouldn't be surpised if he gets fired. They are in a "quiet period". So no body is supposed to comment on anything related to the company's financials.


Thanks for updating your article!
Regards
Rob

Hope we're not soon reading about Chahil leaving to pursue the dreaded "other opportunities"
