News, Palm
After a long lull, the first news from the company’s Palm emerged today. I’m sure many of you remember the triumphal return by Palm at the mobile phone market with its own operating system and several devices at its base, which, incidentally, were quite successful. Many of you should remember and an equally rapid decline in financial performance, which led to its sale of the largest computer manufacturer, HP.
After this news from HP-Palm had not heard for a long time, but today the information vacuum was finally broken through the same application unit Palm, dealing with relations with developers. As the representative of this department, “new devices, and with them the new version WebOS, very soon become available.” Interestingly, it includes a list of these devices tablets, which may be the hallmark of the new alliance.

In the third quarter of 2010 an American company Palm shipped to stores from 960 thousand units, and sell them managed just 408 thousand and 550 thousand are still lying in the warehouses. Not much help to the fact that smartphones Pre and Pixi sell the largest U.S. operators: Sprint and Verizon.
The main problem of these smartphones in general quite good, is the inability to compete with market leaders - iPhone and Android. Despite the fact that Palm has increased revenue by nearly $ 350 million, the company continues to incur losses for 11 consecutive quarters. At the end of last week, the company’s shares have fallen again - as much as 27% to $ 4.
In the research firm Canaccord Adams believes that the leadership of Palm will not fundamentally change the situation. Palm is rapidly losing support mobile operators and manufacturers, reduced financial assets: According to Canaccord, would last no more than a year. The very Canaccord, as well as another company, Morgan, advised to sell shares Palm and predict the fall of their value to zero.
