24/7 Wall St. names Palm one of the ten biggest tech failures of the decade

9 l0 B( R9 z7 B& C- RThe year was September 2005. Palm was riding high, having sold close to 500,000 Treo smartphones the preceding quarter. The dominated the fledgling consumer smartphone market, and were putting up stiff competition against Research in Motion’s BlackBerry line. Fast forward two years to September 2007: Palm’s sales were up to 689,000 units for the quarter, but RIM had moved 3.2 million BlackBerries worldwide and Apple had just introduced their iPhone to the tune of one million sold on AT&T alone. A year later, they’d move that many of the next generation in three days.
Up until recently, things had been looking pretty bad for Palm. Delays, aging software, and shrinking marketshare made it look like Palm was about to sink into oblivion. Back in 2000, Palm stock traded at an ungodly $669/share (adjusting for splits and dividends), today it’s at just over $11 (up from a low of a pitiful $1.14 last December).

我们先回到 2005年九月。当时的Palm正如日中天，他们上个季度销售了将近500.000台的treo 智能手机。

但Palm在消费者占主导地位的还未成熟的智能手机市场与RIM公司的黑莓产品的较量中显得有些迟缓/保守。
很快，两年之后的2007年九月：Palm的销售量达到了689.000台，但是RIM在全球销售了320万台的黑莓手机，苹果公司刚刚发布的iphone仅在AT&T就销售了100万台。
再过一年之后，苹果在发售了他们的第二代iphone,之后的三天内 ，就销售了100万台。
