Palm Press Conference Announces Nothing
This is why Palm is a dead company walking. Palm CEO Ed Colligan just held a press conference a few minutes ago with Sprint where he announced.... nothing! Technically, he "announced" the Palm Centro, but, of course, this is ancient history by now. Searching Google for "Palm Centro," you get 2,740,000 existing pages about it. Did Colligan think he was announcing anything? Has he ever heard of the Internet? Has he ever seen a cell phone that wasn't made by Palm. There's just no other way to say it. PALM IS DEAD. Thanks for nothing, Ed.

Don't get my wrong, I think Palm SHOULD die, but a bunch of investors apparently didn't get the memo.
Man! Such hostility! Why can't you just commend Palm for their efforts and leave it at that? Yea, the Folio was a mistake. And the upper management has difficulty with making key directional decisions. But, I don't think they are "dead". This new release is a good idea. The price is good for a Treo! And with tons of software available for it. I think we're far from seeing a death of Palm as a company.
I'm pissed at Palm because I spent ten years investing my time and thousands of dollars and my effort in their platform (I've owned seven Palm devices, even more peripheral devices and dozens of for-pay Palm software applications) and then they just totally stopped innovating.
I've recommended over the years to millions of readers that they buy Palm devices, and I feel that I've let those readers down, because gross incompetence at Palm has killed innovation at the company.
Here's more background on why I'm so disappointed in Palm.
Palm should definitely die now; it's just living on a feed-tube. I lost thousands of dollars that I put into its stock. What a pain that was, geez, the executives were still raking in millions. Crap.
