PocketFactory: "The Sad State Of The Palm Economy, And Other PDA Ramblings"
Posted by Jason Dunn in "ARTICLE" @ 06:00 PM
"October 24, 1929 marked the beginning of the Great Depression, an economic decline that lead to the loss of millions of jobs and livelihoods all over the world and eventually resulted in the largest military conflict in history. While this dark event may not seem to have much in common with the world of mobile devices, the same dark cloud of disappointment and lost hope seems to hang over another once major economy; the Palm Economy. After years of leadership and trailblazing innovation, today’s PalmOS platform is a pale shadow of its former self. Where a juggernaut of mobile technology once stood, a diminished figure now faces a market where PalmOS is often outclassed and outgunned in the very market it created."
Kent Pribbernow, a.k.a. Foo Fighter, waxes philosophical about the state of Palm and the PDA industry in general. Give it a read and tell me what you think about what Kent is saying.
