Remember when we used to write about Palm in order to talk about its devices and / or operating system(s)? Man, those were the days. Now, it just seems like one sadness-filled report after another, and just days after hearing that it would be cutting an undisclosed amount of employees in order to trim operating expenses, in ...

... smartphone and handheld products. The company stated that while it had expected these factors to pressure revenue in its November 2008 and February 2009 quarters, the difficult economic environment has greatly intensified the negative impact on product sales.It's not the economy, stupid.

Those older bits of software are still usable thanks to ACCESS's Garnet Virtual Machine for Nokia N-series Internet Tablets.

Sad truth dept.: Palm is dying and nobody cares
jkOnTheRun —
Palm is making the news and not in a way they care to. Reports are in that revenues will be much lower than anticipated due to low Treo sales. The sad part is nobody cares, except for those Palm employees who may lose their jobs and the few remaining investors who didn't get out already.

Every so often when browsing Techmeme, I will come across a pair of stories that, though they may not be next to each other on the page, are nonetheless made to be juxtaposed with each other.
That was the case for this pair of stories. On the one hand, “iPhone soars to 16.6% of smartphone market.” On the other, “Palm revenue craters as Treos fall out of favor.”

MacDailyNews —
Beleaguered Palm’s revenue craters; death watch continues Tuesday, December 02, 2008 - 11:10 PM EST "With revenue falling to dire levels, Palm may need a Christmas miracle to stay afloat next year," Tom Krazit reports for CNET. "The latest dose of bad news? Revenue for Palm's second fiscal quarter, which ended last week, will be just $190 million to $195 million, the company announced Monday ahead of its December 18th conference call," Krazit reports. "Wall Street analysts had been expecting Palm to record $331 million in revenue, an astonishing 41 percent gap caused by 'reduced demand for maturing smartphone and handheld products,' Palm said in a press release."
