But the theory just doesn't hold water. The arguments made by PalmOne and PalmSource are very plausible, and there is actually much more evidence of health than disaster.
They probably should have split PalmSource away from the Palm brand in the first place, but I think it makes sense to do, so I'm glad they finally got around to it. Personally, though, I think of Palm as the OS more than the devices, so I kind of wish it had been the other way around with PalmSource keeping the Palm brand. But this was is more practical, and the cash will certainly help with the transitions into the phone markets and to Linux.
So, okay, you've made your point... you think PalmSource is going to fail and may have to be rescued by a PalmOne buyout, and it will happen within a year.
I disagree, but you're on record now with the prediction. Let's wait it out for the year and see if that's right or wrong. But please, let's not beat it into the ground. We understand you think PalmSource is a mess. But most people, even Pocket PC fans, just don't feel that way, and repetition is not going to convince us. In fact, it might even give the moderators an itchy trigger finger if you know what I mean.  |
No, I don't have a chip on my shoulder against PalmSource. But one wonders if you might have one on yours against me given your repeated veiled threats and attempts to dismiss my comments. That's not very "friendly", is it?
If you don't want to promote discussion and would prefer to keep everything quiet until the day you wake up and ask, "Oh my God, what happened to Palm!" that's entirely your right. It's your site to play with as you please, BobR. Feel free to shoot the messenger. In the back.
