Palm weathered the iPhone storm

I think they did fairly well during this post-iPhone quarter. It could have been worse. Actual adjusted figures actually say a few cents earnings per share.

i am thinking that quarter and this current quarter are the quarters when Palm will feel the effects of the iPhone the most. And the effect of the Foleo cancellation. With the new lineups of phones they came up with, including the rumored 800w, i think we should expect better times ahead.

Palm weathered the iPhone storm in other words.

Now they really have to make that Plinux phone quick if they expect to survive another year.

If they had a few PDA models, they would still be in the black.
