Palm Had the Seven Top Sellers
- "Even though Palm released the m505 right at the end of the second quarter, (the product) was still the No. 4" seller at retail for the quarter, [NPD analyst Stephen] Baker said. In fact, he added, Palm had "the seven top sellers" during the second quarter.

No credibility
Take a look at their past practice: If the Microsoft glass is at half, they will say that it's almost to the top (if you put it in a long stem wine glass and measure the height of the glass), then they will add a cube of ice and a little umbrella, and declare they are taking over the world. If the Palm OS glass is at half, they will report that it's almost empty, the glass is dirty, and then spit in it.
Compaq, H-P Have Inventory Glut
RE: Compaq, H-P Have Inventory Glut
Palm can only afford a couple mis-steps (like too much inventory, etc.), while M$ can dump gazillions of dollars into PPC and hardly blink.
Look at Netscape. M$ GAVE their browser away for free. How could Netscape compete with that???

Recently? Gartner has been banging Microsoft's gong for years. They've been shoving distorted Windows vs. Mac statistics for a long time, as one example. Why should it be any different on the handheld side?
