Palm's Pre: Likely to Break

I agree. I wish Palm well, but feel they are just too late to this party. With this timing, they'd not only have to produce a very good phone, they'd have to produce something that left everyone else in the dust. I really don't think the Pre is sufficiently better than anyone else's device to shift the market in a major way.

The real point here is that Palm will run out of cash once decent but not outstanding sales emerge. At that point, someone with deeper pockets will buy them. The question is...who? Microsoft? Dell?

Does Palm's Pre Have a Chance Against the iPhone?

The Pre is simply too late into this game. It's not just iPhone, it's all the other players too. Those who want a smart phone and are averse to either Apple or AT&T already have options. To enter the game now, it would need some killer features that really made it stand out, just being a little better at a few things gets it lost in the muddle.

I think someone will buy Palm once the stock has pulled back to the $1 range. How about Dell or HP?
