Palm only makes 2 phones... you want them to get rid of one of them? :)

I remember when Palm ruled the corporate world with their various Treos. Palm is a shell of its former self... now just patent portfolio for HP.]]>May 16th 2010 8:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/May 16th 2010 8:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/May 16th 2010 8:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/Last i checked Apple only makes 1 Phone and they are dominating!]]>May 16th 2010 9:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/

Sent from my Palm Pre Plus on AT&T, bitches]]>May 16th 2010 9:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/May 16th 2010 10:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/May 16th 2010 10:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/
Exactly. But that strategy clearly doesn't work for everyone....

Do you think it was a good idea for Palm to throw away their success with the Treo, and bet all the money on the Palm Pre exclusive to Sprint for the first year?

Funny you bring up Apple... Palm WAS competing with Apple... and Palm made bad decisions.

So bad... that they practically went bankrupt and had to get bought by a computer company.]]>May 16th 2010 10:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/
1st: You don't have to quote me every time you reply towards me...i see the @DmitryNYC...which means you're talking to me about what i said last.

2nd: Palm Treo was a success...until the iPhone and people realized how outdated the phone was.

3rd: I don't think i ever mentioned they weren't competing against Apple. And one of Palms mistakes was the Pixi, so get rid of it and release something better than the Pre. Just like Palms mistake in hiring a horrible company to produce their ads for the Pre...so what did they eventually do? Got rid of them...but sadly it was too late. Blackberry has many phone, one of which was a Blackberry Pearl, last i checked it's not on the market anymore! Reason: Not a great product, no need for it to exist.

AND FINALLY...i'll let the ranks on the posts speak for themselves.

BTW: I've been with palm all my life. I have a Treo 600 --> 650 --> 755p --> And now i have a Palm Pre. WebOS is probably the best OS for the mobile market out there. Reason palm needed to get bought out by a company was because of bad advertising, going exclusively with sprint, and releasing garbage like Pixi, rather then announcing a new WebOS phone revamped like Apple does with the iPhone every year.]]>May 16th 2010 11:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/
Good points... although the Pearl is coming back:

http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/26/blackberry-pearl-3g-revealed-two-keypad-styles-and-802-11n-wifi/]]>May 16th 2010 11:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/May 17th 2010 12:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/And yet they aren't even a telecom or cell-phone company...seems they're doing something right to be in 3rd and rising. The argument here wasn't who's first, but why is apple making sales with 1 product and palm can't make sales with 2 products.

The fact that Palm & RIM have been in the industry for ages and are Cellphone companies and Apple to release a phone and do this much damage, with ONLY 1 PHONE on ONLY 1 CARRIER, while RIM & Palm were allover tells me that business wise, Apple is doing something right.

Palm was in the dust with their PalmOS...and it killed them bad. WebOS was supposed to revive them, but due to some bad moves by the company they went straight back to the gutter.

RIM was holding it's own strictly due to the Blackberry Services, had it not been for the Blackberry Services (Ping E-Mail, BBM, etc...) RIM OS is and has been just as outdated as PalmOS. The fact that RIM didn't decide to do anything about their outdated OS until now allowed Apple to come into the market and put itself as a leader in smartphone sales. All i'm saying is that if Apple got to expand to Verizon and other carriers, with 1 phone they would and possible could become extremely close to being #1 is sales of smartphones.]]>May 17th 2010 12:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/
Oh let me add that Apple doubled in their smartphone sales since last year and are rising...they will most likely surpass RIM very shortly. And if apple expands to Verizon, they will become #2 only behind Symbian and RIM will become 3rd, and if RIM doesn't do something about releasing a NORMAL CAPACITIVE TOUCHSCREEN PHONE, Google's Android will also get the chance to catch up and surpass RIM. Touchscreen phones have become a norm and RIM seems to refuse to do anything about it. And the Storm is a disgrace to all touchscreen phones.]]>May 17th 2010 12:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/May 17th 2010 3:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/
So AT&T is good now? I see how it works. AT&T sucks when Apple uses them and people want Verizon but now that the Pre is on it, AT&T is awesome and Verizon is the expensive carrier? I imagine something must have changed overnight to upgrade their entire US network infrastructure for this to be the case. Way to go AT&T.]]>May 17th 2010 10:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/
AT&T has always been good in my area. It depends on where you live. They didn't know jack sh17 about the Pre on Sunday (the guy helping me had never even HELD one, much less opened one, or installed a SIM; way to go on training your staff, AT&T) and it took a frickin HOUR-AND-A-HALF to get out the door with my Pre, but yes, the network here is fine.]]>May 19th 2010 12:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/May 16th 2010 7:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/May 16th 2010 8:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/May 16th 2010 9:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/May 17th 2010 12:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/16/palm-pre-plus-launched-on-atandt/

Awesome. This is how things could turn out but tech history always tells us that there is a surprise player we have not even thought of yet. Who expected google to be making phones (G1, Nexus One), HP buying palm when most expected a HTC bid.
