"Palm have nailed their own coffin shut. There was so much more they could have done. I know if I was an executive at Palm, I would have used every last ounce of strength to make the Pre an absolute success, and it oculd have been. "

Palm has never been able to fire on all pistons at the same time. They had early successes becasue they had ideas that others didnt have. Once other faster smarter companies started doing what they do they appeared slow and aged, because they are.

They are slow to react, slow to develop. and in the case of the Pre, they FINALLY did put together a good peice of hardware with good software - but in typical Palm fashion, the other pistons weren't firing when they needed to be. Management and Marketing pistons were not firing at all this past year.

Palm just isnt designed to compete. They are to slow and lack the leadership structure to improve. Hiring CEO Rubinstien wasnt enough. its the whole companies culture that failed here.
