4 f4 I' @0 ^5 m* B& ~& mThe war of words and thinly-veiled half-threats between Apple and Palm has just taken a new twist, with based on new commentary by a Palm spokesperson responding to comments made by Apple's COO Tim Cook earlier this week. The comments, as seen in a new piece on the Wall Street Journal's D| All Things Digital site, have each party possible entrenching themselves for a long and protracted legal battle. & Q4 e1 v& i# m, E
Written by John Packowski on his "Digital Daily" column, today's article is entitled "Palm to Apple: Bring It". The piece contains just enough juicy bits to make to make it abundantly clear who each company is targeting with their respective statements. As seen in our story earlier this week, Tim Cook fired the initial volley a few days ago with several semi-vague statements such as these choice quotes: ) J) I7 s# U* o# A0 s4 S; p- V
; j, n5 a: V8 ~; R% ~. m7 [
"We like competition, as long as they don't rip off our IP, and if they do, we're going to go after anybody that does … We will not stand for having our IP ripped off and we'll use whatever weapons we have at our disposal. I don't know that I can be more clear than that."
& M: w4 c7 q- N+ D" s) {
Packowski then goes on to publish a new statement made by Lynn Fox, a Palm spokesperson, refuting any claims made by Apple: 6 K0 m+ e( e4 ^. b' ]$ [  J+ J
"Palm has a long history of innovation that is reflected in our products and robust patent portfolio and we have long been recognized for our fundamental patents in the mobile space…if faced with legal action, we are confident that we have the tools necessary to defend ourselves."

Interestingly enough, Fox herself is a former Apple employee who previous headed up the Macintosh PR department. She defected to Palm last year alongside Mike Bell, and is now Palm's VP of Public Relations. So Palm has obviously not decided to back down from the threat of Apple's lawyers over the two days since Cook's initial comments. Of course, given the fact that Palm's new Pre features Apple's former "podfather" John Rubinstein at the helm alongside a cadre of ex-Apple staffers, the company almost certainly realized the threat posed by Apple's deep pockets and various IP holdings and has planned accordingly. 7 H' J9 ?) {" [2 T3 n
If nothing else, Apple could be attempting merely trying to delay the Pre's release by entangling Palm in legal complications. The Pre has hit the ground running after a warm industry response to Palm's CES preview. Even the specter of legal trouble could succeed diminishing some of the Pre's initial momentum while the 3rd revision of the iPhone is being readied for release. The exact release date of the Pre remains unknown, as Palm and carrier partner Sprint are refusing to be more specific than the "1st half of ‘09" date given at CES earlier this month. $ e$ l9 R5 [/ M
Additionally (but far less likely), Apple could be content to cede some sliver of the iPhone's market share to Palm's Pre and devices running Google's Android while offering the above cautionary words as a warning to any "me too" Asian firm looking to knock off the iPhone's UI and aesthetic. 4 U# m. j( A( t* ]- d
Palm's stock, which had been trading at over double its previous levels since being buoyed by the strong response to WebOS and the Pre announcements earlier this month at CES, dropped as much as 8% yesterday, possibly due to fears from litigation by Apple, according to this Reuters article and CNBC.
