1 m& h. H" f2 p2 hOfcourse Palm's new products are keyboard-based! Do we REALLY expectanything else other than SSS (small square screens) from them? Ofcourse we don't!As far as Colligan's complaints (declines in thehandheld business, Palm's aging Windows Mobile product line & thelower than average selling price of the Centro), ALL of that is theirfault.% _ o5 \( m- X

#1 Had Palm not totally abandoned the handheld market ina fenzy of greed to cozy up to the carriers (namely Sprint &Verizon) they'd still be treading water, even if they had kept tweakingthe same 3 (or even 2) existing PDA formfactors/price points.5 D5 X1 u1 t/ b& d0 I
3 B* q) J e) i+ C0 Z& X#2Aging WM line? Again, entirely Palm's fault. To not be the firstcompany out of the gates with a 320x320 WM6 smartphone is just absurd.The 755p formfactor would have made for an ideal first WM6 device. Oh,what's that you say? The carriers didn't comission a 320x320 WM6 CDMATreo from Palm? Oh well, that's what you get by selling your soul tothe carriers and then repeatedly bungling one release after another.)

0 `1 c, d/ p3 X8 y y0 h#3Lower than average selling price of the Centro? Again, entirely Palm'sfault. Had they not tried to sell the SAME smartphone 3x in a row (Treo700p, 755p, Centro) perhaps they could have commanded a higher price.Or even (GASP!) tried to introduce SOME compelling new hardware featureon the Centro to make it worthy of a higher price (128mb RAM, 2mpcamera, 2/4gb internal flash screen are all perfectly functional underGarnet). Heck, a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack would have given theCentro SOMETHING that the other Treos do not have. Instead, thatpitiful stock battery and tiny scren & keyboard aren't worthy of apremium pricetag and everyone (including the carriers) knows it.

Quite foolish if you ask me. Heck, had Palm just hada quiet 500v launch in the US and sold it through AT&T as a WMversion of the Centro (or, as a Moto Q competitor) or even justunlocked on their website it'd at least have gotten SOME attention. Andan utter lack of differentiating features over every other WM phone onthe market doesn't help matters either.

Has-been smartphone maker Palm is having some luck selling itscheap, tiny Centro smartphone at Sprint (S) and AT&T (T): It helpedthe company sell a record 833,000 phones last quarter, up 13%year-over-year.

But business still stinks: The company swung to aloss and missed the Street's sales and EPS projections. Palm (PALM)shares are down 6% in after-hours trading - at $4.45, they're just 20cents above their 52-week low.' T0 x) ^2 @) s/ C" h

Palm (PALM) posted $312.1 millionof sales, down 24% year-over-year and missing the Street's $315.3million consensus. Adjusted EPS came in at a 16 cents per share loss,below the Street's expected 15 cents per share loss. And the companyreported a $31.5 million net loss, a huge drop from its $11.8 millionQ3 profit a year ago. O3 @5 G( g" g' X+ e2 s' d( p
