It's called a PocketPC.
Look at the new handhelds coming from HP, Toshiba, Casio, Compaq, etc...
ARM processor running at 206 MHz, virtually unlimited memory using compact flash cards or micro-drive.
No one has batteries lasting a week straight with color but new lithium-polymer batteries are great. The new HP Jornada can do 14 hours with backlighting.

"Whooopeee!!! We ONLY lost $39 Million this quarter!!!!!!!"
RE:
You've obviously know little about business
Fact: In a slowing economy, more businesses lose money.
Palm established itself far quicker than most businesses of its scale. It's still relatively young. That, in addition to the slowing economy, means that it's more likely to lose money during any given quarter. Analysts attempt to predict how much profit/loss a company will have as an indicator for investors--an indicator not just of profit, but of profitability. The closer a company is to the "break even" point, the more likely it is to pay off as a sound investment. So losing less money than expected can be a "hopeful" sign.
Palm isn't "out of the woods" yet by any means, but the fact that their revenue is up in today's economy has to be great for them. They need to continue this trend if they're to get their stock price back up and return to some measure of strength.
To all you "Palm is dead" parrots out there, learn a new phrase. Perhaps, "Visor Neo and Visor Pro Suck."
RE:
I can see the big **** doing a final circle 'round the bowl!
PALM is at most worth 72 cents/share.
$2.15 divided by 3 = 72 cents.
RE: Whooooosh
Ummm
Can you explain the above in a little more simplistic way?
I just bought a bunch of Palm stock @ $2.36 a share.
My logic was that it is so cheap, its bound to go up in the next 6 to 12 months.
But then again, I really don't know what the hell I'm going when it comes to stocks. AT ALL.

RE: Whooooosh
PALM is pure market play, you invest because of stock price expectation.

Eulogy for Palm...
I look at what Palm seems to have in the can for products, and it doesn't seem pretty. The i705 seemed cool, but was hardly the "Blackberry Killer" that they were hyping (not that this was a good goal in the first place). The newly released M125 seems to be a low end model with a high end cost, which leads me to wonder which market it was going after.
Palm has stated that they are going toward ARM processors with PalmOS 5.0. PalmOS 5.0 will have to be a complete rewrite of their OS, and given the fact they they only just bought Be, I would say that they aren't very far along. As has been proven by Apple and Microsoft, it is often a long and painfull process moving to a totally new OS. This is going to be a long and painfull eighteen months for Palm if they are planning something similar. They do not need this while Microsoft is gaining market share.
The fact that they have companies like Motorola dropping off the bandwagon also does not bode well.
Don't get me wrong. I love my M505. I also loved my Macintosh and my Amiga. I figure I can get another year out of it.

RE: m505 Sales Way Up?
You left out your catchphrase: Palm is Doomed.
RE: m505 Sales Way Up?
It's classic. A campany cannot keep selling consumer electronic product without giving a real "feature improvement" and expect sales keep climbing.
OK, it's 7%, but what is the overall handheld growth? how about HS? or Sony? (ie. the overall picture)
Only dumb person will hyping the 7% growth as a sign of light at the end of tunnel, instead of a dire warning that it is a flat liner and the product need to be refreshed immediately. Whoever heard a consumer electronic growth at 7% on entire range of company product. Kellogs cereal maybe, but not a handheld.
m505 Sales Ar Way Up
The point of Ed's statement was m505 sales were succesful! Do you have to read between the lines on every fricking post? m505 sales are good! That's the point!
RE: m505 Sales Way Up?
heck even m500 is "above expectation" according to Palm Inc press release.
Something the Palm-is-doomed crowd has probably missed....

You're not going to see any serious uptick in the Palm stock price untill that shoe falls. Matter of fact, the time to buy is in the middle of their sell-off.
