RE: What's Access's debt?
Was a Head Scratcher of a deal - even more of a Head Scratcher now.
Despite Treo PALM sales flat
Assuming Palm is now 90% of POS sales, their sales in total have not increased much year on year. They have however managed to transition from PDA's to higher margin treo's very well.
Some numbers.
Palm(one) Q3 2004
1076470 total sales
Palm Suggested Q3 2005 numbers (estimated)
1080000 total sales (virtually identical)
475200 Treo's
604800 Handheld PDA's
There may have been a small quarter on quarter gain in Palm's favour, but year on year they are down. This also put paid to the myth that millions of PalmOs handhelds are selling in Asia (which makes the Access purchase even more mystifying)

Palm devices sold Q2 2005
1,057,420
PalmSource Licenses sold Q2 2005
1,157,720
Thats 91.3% of POS sales being to P1 in Q2 2005. Its obvious they make a lot of their revenue a) from the sale of their name and b) from mandatory license fees from companies who are not shipping any devices (e.g. Sony). But you are right that Palm's numbers would be marginally better if I assume they are now shipping 100% of PalmOS licenses.

This number actually matches my calculations from earlier, which confirms that they sold about 600 000 PDA's also.
