RE: RE: RE: Nice bump today ..!
You might want to catch up a little thier foray into thier own cell phone was about 4 years ago. The deal with Palm was the only good thing about the Palm at the time as everyone that bought one raved about the connectivity of the device. So yeah they had a deal with Palm which I believe did more to put Palm on the map than SW you might note that Palm has lost significant market share dispite thier MS operating system. As it was the device that Bill Gates jumped up with at Comdex was more of a concept like this is what we are talking about and hence I kind of suspect the announced device more or less drove the market by giving a lot of manufacturers a kick in the pants. The objective was to stimulate the data market by adding data too cell phones. I never thought SW was serious about the device at the time nor after the fact it was something they got driven into. Thier only real competition at the time was RIM and suspect for a moment RIM might not have appreciated it..but ho hum back to the berries. As for Palm the second gen was not near the quality of the first gen which contained the SW chips and stuff.
But that was a whole CEO and CFO ago and for the past 3 years all earning, acquisition, growth and quality. The new management are the benefactors of the vision of the founders and legacy of thier vision. I kind of think this company was put on the right path from the get go and will continue you grow and prosper. The existing CEO has been there since the get go as well which I think is great cause believe he really knows the industry and data telecoms...
So yep Palm like who cares and yep the cell phone thing a blip on the gatt chart. I am long and here till the fat lady sings..eh..ATB..!
