Back in the day when Palm was king of the hill the knock on the devices was that, although the OS was good, the hardware sucked. This is what allowed the BlackBerry to knock Palm off their pedestal as RIM put out devices with both a stable OS and and a stable operating system and stable hardware.
It looks like Palm still hasn’t figured the hardware thing out yet.
I hope that history doesn’t repeat itself… I am actually pulling for Palm.

Remember Palm? They used to be the top dog in the mobile PDA business just a few years ago but it seems like lately the company is struggling just to stay afloat.
Next month at CES in Las Vegas, Palm will debut it’s new OS along with the device that will run it.
Palm is expecting Nova to capture 2% of the market now dominated by the BlackBerry followed by the iPhone. Will this be enough to save the company?
What do you think?

Remember back in the day where the gadget to have for everyone that was anyone was a Palm Pilot? It’s hard to believe that devices from Palm once held the rock star status that is today reserved only for the BlackBerry and the iPhone.
Palm was so big that Palm Pilot almost became a generic term kind of like Xerox. It really didn’t matter what type of PDA you had, most people referred to it as a Palm Pilot.
It is kind of sad seeing where Palm has fallen to. 10 years ago they were on top of the world. Today their stock has been downgraded to sell and is sitting at $5.76. Research in Motion, on the other hand, moved into the top 5 of wireless handset manufacturers and opened up today at $137.50.
