Comments on: Palm's Stock Upgraded on Positive Cento Report

Palm's stock price got a small boost on an analyst upgrade from J.P. Morgan. J.P's Paul Coster has raised his rating on the stock to Overweight from Underweight. The stock is currently up ~6% (at 6.40) on the day. In a note, Coster says Centro sales may be exceeding expectations and the device is currently the most popular device offered by 16 Sprint stores the analyst surveyed. (via Tech Trader Daily)

In related news, Palm's CFO Andrew Brown will be presenting at the Thomas Weisel Partners Technology, Telecom & Internet Conference 2008 in San Francisco later today at 4:25 Pacific Time. A live webcast of the presentation will be available at Palm's Investor Relations site.

Dear Ryan,

I'm noticing that you might not want to post articles such as these on PIC. It's too hard for the locals to figure out how this shows Palm is [insert your favorite negative spin here]. Posting positive stuff about Palm is a real discussion killer and will likely hurt your site's ratings in the future.

Happy to be of help,
twrock

LOL! Thanks for the laugh. It's the first (much needed one) I've had all day!

But seriously, I think I can speak for most of the "PIC faithful" in that most of us are going to have a mix of outright skepticism, pessimism, or at best very cautious optimism for ANYTHING Palm-related from here on.

A properly timed hint or sneak peak at a device (or even Nova or some unannounced service) that could send Palm V-style shockwaves throughout the industry would be Palm's best bet to generate continued positive buzz.

Barring that, I'd at least like to see Palm release an official list of the changes/fixes found in the 755p 1.07 ROM.

Pilot 1000-->Pilot 5000-->PalmPilot Pro-->IIIe-->Vx-->m505-->T|T-->T|T2-->T|C-->T|T3-->T|T5-->TX-->Treo 700P

>>>16 Sprint stores

What's the total number of stores and is this a statistically valid sample?

Sorry, tw, but *facts* matter. Analysts often pipedream. Hey, amazon at $600, according to Blodgett. Did you buy? ROTF...

And with Voice of Reason no longer around, I guess others have to be taught. Rumor at the last Palm gathering was that he is in jail. Can anyone confirm that?

Wait, you mean they AREN'T?!

twrock --> You did not answer the question. And it was a fair question too.

Sorry Mike. I've only been skimming anything you post lately. I must have missed that you were waiting for an answer.

Looks like you asked two questions, neither of which seem have much to do with what I wrote. But just because I'm a nice guy, here you go.

1. I don't know, and I don't care.

2. Of course not.

Hope that helps.
