But What Do I Know

If I had to make a guess, I would say it almost seems like Palm wasn't really serious about returning to the smart-phone market.  A market that they held a 30+ percent share of in mid 2006.  They came out last year with a phone that could have made some gains, the Palm Pre.  At first blush it looked pretty cool, very slick, nice interface and such.  But Palm , for some reason, refused to open up an SDK for developers on a large scale.  Okay, yes they released the Pixi or whatever the hell that thing was called but then they released what was dubbed a creepy commercial.  After looking at the events I would say that palm was looking for someone to come along and offer a buyout at a premium and now that no offer has materialized they don't know what to do.  But what do I know.
