RE: TREO will not save PALM
However, in the short run the Win Treo will probably do okay by milking the name recognition of that little Palm logo and Ed Cooligan and his buddies will congratulate themselves for their "success".
Making a Win Treo simply isn't innovative. These guys just won't innovate--they are only looking to do the things that give the appearance of success. They only need the appearance of success to make it through to the next quarter and keep their salaries.

I suspect the majority of the spending they have to recoup is just huge salaries to phb's and other people who had to sit in meetings and waste time.

Licensing agreements with Michael Jordan & Claudia Schiffer?
Indirectly bankrolling the publicity campaign for a major motion picture featuring an outdated handheld plastered on lobby posters in cimemas worldwide?
Buying back a name they never should have let go of in the first place?
Sounds like they are stashing all of their cash away to make them look like a ripe, juicy acquisition target (ala Atari etc).
Palm merging Zire & LifeDrive lines?

"Palm said its LifeDrive devices and Tungsten and Zire handhelds did not perform as well as Palm had hoped. The company blamed the drop in shipments of as much as 22 percent on a slow sales in Europe over the summer, lagging sales in the Asia-Pacific region and a general decline in the demand for PDAs.
Colligan promised to improve video playback and camera capabilities on future models of the LifeDrive."
