Comments on: Palm Buyer Doubts Concern Analysts
TTD's article sums up the comments from three long time Palm analysts, all of whom are rather pessimistic on the stock. UBS analyst Maynard Um thinks last Friday's SVP departure and executive bonuses are a sign that a deal is not pending and he reckons that interest in the firm may be tepid. Morgan Keegan analyst Tavis McCourt reflects similar sentiments, but goes even further stating "Palm's ability to execute a turnaround internally remains difficult."

(I still am awaiting an Android-based phone on Verizon with comparable specs, at least a 4" AOLED screen, and a slide-out physical keyboard. Whoever brings that out will get my $! Moto Droid 2, perhaps?

RE: Value in innovation too
If we have one enterprise doing everything who will push for excellence? It is the constructive competitive nature of North Americas hidden value that inspires an enterprise to create more content and others benefit from such creativity too.
Thanks for providing the content it was very interesting and uplifting to see what the human mind can do.

How come none of *your* posts provide any content? They keep rehashing the same tired ideas.
RE: Value in innovation too
Some may have tired of Palm too and look what happened.
Thanks for your thoughts.

Not surprising at all
Also, all but one of the BB mobile stores near me have dropped the Sprint Pixi and the VZW Pixi Plus, though the corporate stores do still have 'em the last time I checked.
But with hot new higher-margin handsets like the HTC Incredible & HTC Evo coming to both CDMA carriers, I don't think they are gonna be too inclined to keep shelf space for a low-end smartphone much longer...especially in VZW's case, as the Pixi Plus comes with a "free" hotspot feature that eats into their bottom line.
I'm amazed at the rapid pace the CDMA carriers are rolling out high-end Android handsets. It looks like Sprint & VZ are doing their damndest to make an end-run around the iPhone with a variety of Android devices at all price points. That C40 cannot come soon enough, huh?

It's kinda sad
I like some of the aspects of WebOS. I hope it finds it's way forward.

Two more loops in the tailspin
1) Radio Shack dropping Pre & Pixi
2) Palm "waiving" (ahem!) $99.00 fee for developers
"This is the end, my friend..."
RE: Two more loops in the tailspin
Went to BB Mobile today and the Pre Plus is down to $29.99 w/ activation. Pixi Plus & Pixi are already gone from the VZW & Sprint counters. A few Pre/Pixi accessories (side case & maybe another case) were on clearance and several others (Pixi Touchstone cover IIRC) were MIA.

RE: Two more loops in the tailspin
Is that right? Hadn't read it yet.
Not at all surprised - their big "Graphics Expo Show had more crickets than developers if the photos of the "event" are to be believed.
RE: Two more loops in the tailspin
Yup, Mike's right.

Palm, please don't die.
Radioshack has dropped Sprints original Pre and Pixi devices, device which can't really compare to the equivalent Plus models. I think this is a significant detail that seems to be missing from most peoples dialogue. If you look at Sprint as a carrier, I think it's fine they're doing this.
I hope they can give us some compelling hardware this year.
RE: Palm, please don't die.
Palm's horrendous and publicly admitted Verizon experience with the Pre Plus is all the proof you need.
Dell and HTC reportedly drop out
I guess they didn't see any value it Palm's Patent Portfolio nor sufficient value in webOS.
WHOWOULDATHOUGHT!?
RE: Dell and HTC reportedly drop out
will lenovo really pay 1.3 billion dollars for smoke & mirrors?

Value in innovation too
Does more emphasis on the future of Palm quality innovation need more attention too? Palm is more than a company for sale it is a strong North American brand that has more to offer then just being for sale.
Should the stock also be valued at Palms quality innovative future? Do all people that buy Palm support that value added quality innovative future?
