  • Palm Pre Apps Are Tracking Way Behind Apple [View article]
    The analyst has cleverly steered away from talking about quality of these so called 50,000 apps. that Apple hosts. It's like a giant warehouse filled with trash and junk. The warehouse can show the exterior building and claim that it's the largest store house in the world. I have so far downloaded nearly 200 apps. and most of them are a piece of crap or worthless. I wouldn't spend even 50 cents to buy any apps. from the store. If someone is into playing games, then it's a different ball game. I don't see any worthwhile efforts to hosts productivity applications by Apple. What's the point in comparing 50,000 pieces of trash with 30 pieces of worthwhile apps.? Palm is prudent not to allow any Tom, Dick and Harry to develop apps. on webOS.

  • Sprint Failing to Lure New Customers with Pre [View article]
    We need guys like Aryamehr, to bring some rationale into the thinking of analysts. Wall Street is too impatient for results. Analysts expect Palm and Sprint to do wonders within a week of rolling out a new phone. Have people forgotten how iPhone is now a cheap commodity for $99 sold in Walmart? What happened to the clowns who slept overnight outside Fifth Ave and Palo Alto Apple stores just two years ago? The smart user waited for one year and got $199 iPhone in June 2008 and now can get it for throw away price. So a creative company like Apple had to resort to massive price reduction to sell the most talked about device. Could Apple have sold 3 million iPhones for $499 each? Also analyst compare 50,000 apps. that Apple hosts. Most of the apps. are piece of junk and games. Are we just showing off numbers in app. stores? Let's give Palm a full quarter to see where things are headed.
