    • Despite New Products, Palm Still Lags Behind RIM [view article]
      anon... - What difference does that make versus RIMM's 100%-plus gain? Palm is getting smacked for two reasons:
      1. RIMM has the advantage of baked-in corporate servers. Palm has some, but barely measurable compared to RIMM's installed base.
      2. Palm HAD an advantage in usability, web-browsing and versatility. They threw that advantage away when they chased MS Windows systems and let Blackberry catch up in terms of features.

      Palm should have run down the path of the iPhone, but that's 20-20 hindsight. Now, they may be too late on either front. With the market growing as fast as it is, maybe if they could FOCUS, they could produce a meaningful product contribution and return to profitability.
