Palm Inc pioneered handhelds (Palm Pilot) and smart phones (Palm Treo) but got into serious trouble during 2005 – 2008. It made a comeback with Palm Pre (launched in June 2009) that was perceived as a serious competitor to Apple iPhone. Palm Pre was NOT a major success; with Palm Pixi (priced very attractively at $ 99) Palm MAY see survival. However with retail major Wal Mart selling it at $ 29 (with 2-year contract) will Palm ever turn profitable?
Let us keep our fingers crossed.
I am a Palm fac (I still use their low end organizer and their Contact / Calendar desktop software that is so intuitive to use). I wish they succeed.
