    Palm seems to have been forgotten already although I wish they had picked up more traction with the Pre release. We're doing some development here for the Pre and it's a very nice phone and system to work with. I just don't see it picking up enough to really be a true competitor.

    @imTheKing: I agree, I own one and had hoped the excitement would continue along and carry WebOS on phones on all carriers. Much like Android, I'm surprised multiple units aren't flooding the markets. It's only been 3 months though.

    The development aspect is one that is bothering me - I expected a bit more software. If a company wants to develop an "app", and they only have resources to develop one, they will develop for the iPhone (which has the largest install base of any platform). Likewise, a customer that has a Pre may be less inclined to buy an app if he is not sure he will use the same platform in the future - not a problem, it seems, with iPhone users.

    I use a Pre now, ONLY because I am tied to Sprint. If Sprint has the iPhone in a year, my Pre will be officially ditched.

    I have my 2 year AT&T contract for my 3GS so this gives WebOS and Android 2 years to pick up steam and support before I have to pick... if it was up to me, I'd have my iPhone and a 2nd gen Eos just for shits and gigs

    High sales of the Pre would give Palm the proof of creditworthiness that they would need to get any bridge for cash to fund the Eos that they may need. I can only think that the sales are not yet proven to be good enough for them to get that cash. Maybe they're just fine with cash, but I tend to believe Arrington on this one. A strong launch (if it could be considered that) does not make for a strong quarter or a strong year. Remember - the Blackberry Storm launched in a hype cloud and reported similarly strong sales, only to drop off a cliff pretty shortly thereafter.


    The irony of course is that the main thing stopping people from flocking to a Palm are the mixed reviews on the keyboard (which this design looks to improve) and the fact that the phone is only available on America's Least Favorite Network. If Palm can stretch production and launch multiple phones serving a broader community on multiple networks, they'd be sure to be in the green. But stretching is hard when they have such a slim record of success for so long.

    @weatherman:


    storm was hyped because of the maker (RIM).


    a gimmicky touch screen is why sales dropped.


    palm stands a chance, the keyboard isnt horrid,not great.... but the OS is fast, the browser is good, and multitasking works.

    @endless: I'm not saying that Palm is doomed or anything, I'm just saying that a strong launch (according to internal figures) and early positive reviews do not guarantee long term success, which is why if Palm needs more money to produce their next handheld, they might not be able to secure it through ordinary channels because they'd have to show significant likelihood of success before being good risk.

    Palm probably HAS to wait because they don't have the capital to do this.


    Remember, they aren't making any money yet.

    Lancaster, eh? So, will it be based on late 1800's technology? Who came up with that name? Someone's going to get fired soon.

    i'm a little surprised that at&t requested a re-done android UI. I thought they would have learned their lesson with the iphone: people don't like their carrier logo all over their phone UI

    Fortunately it's Android, so someone'll figure out how to get a tweaked reference ROM on there right quick.
