You must be an apologist for Yankowski and probably wipes his a** on demand.
RE: You must GO !!!!
I hope Handspring can get back on its feet. The Treo looks great. If they can just keep going until GPRS kicks in they will have a real Blackberry killer.

Has Palm run out of money?

Price War??
The Neo and Pro are no-where to be seen.
When Handspring dropped prices in the US there was no drop here, but Palm prices droped in Australia _before_ they did in the states!
I guess I'll just have to buy a new Palm...
When their next color device comes out...
The $100 cut in price to the Prism I think foreshadows a new color Visor on the horizon. They cut the prices of the Visor Solo, Deluxe and Platinum about a month before the Neo and Pro came out. If they come out with another dazzler in next couple of weeks, their stock might fly even higher. Let's say they produce a device with the form factor of the Edge, a 320x320 65,000 color screen, 16M of memory, and the usual improvements to software (DateBook+, Fast Lookup, etc.). Would their stock fly high off of that?
I sure wish I had invested in them on Monday of last week, I could have doubled my money.

RE: When their next color device comes out...
If you want to debate expandability, start a new thread to talk about it (and throw your name in there while you're at it). I started this thread hoping to hear predictions/speculations about how Handspring's stock will perform when they come out with their next color Visor before christmas.
Thanks,

RE: When their next color device comes out...
What's *lousy* about the Springboard is the size, the fact that it's too bulky, and not an industry standard.
There are lots of expansion options for the visor, but the expansion devices are so bulky no one is going to carry more than one or two with them.
It makes much more sense for Handspring to adopt industry standard expansion scheme (particularly one that's smaller in size).

Revenues were at $61.4 million????????
RE: Revenues were at $61.4 million????????
The trend is clear, Palm is screwed.
RE: MicroTroll
They made this prediction even after looking at Pocket PC 2002 and the new handhelds that will be released using it. They appear to think that these won''t be enough to increase Microsoft''s share of the market and certainly not enough to overshadow the Palm OS for at least 4 more years.
IDC analyst Alex Slawsby says this is because corporations have been less aggressive in adopting handheld computers than predicted. Microsoft has done everything it could to make large corporations like their OS and they weren''t interested. This isn''t my opinion, it''s Slawsby''s.
That gives Palm Inc. at least 4 years, which is about 3 more that will be necessary to come out with OS 5 on ARM chips, which will negate even the percieved Pocket PC advantages. Ignore what the doomsayers and MicroSerfs say, the Palm OS will continue to dominate the handheld market through at least 2005.
p.s. Did I mention that the Palm OS will continue to dominate the handheld market through at least 2005?
OK - so go load up on PALM shares!!!

Yankerkowski must GO !!!!
It ain't going to be pretty when PALM reports.
Yankerkowski must GO. Remember: this is the clown who did some accounting magic: lowered his bonus and jacked up his salary to net the same compensation of $667 !!!! While he was conducting creative accounting and helping out his bottomline (and stomach girth), he whacked employees left-and-right and forced survivors to take a pay cut.
