It sounds about right. I don't know about the unhappy corporate customers or the costly product-planning snafu, but the rest of it seems true.
The Palm exec's who stayed/replaced Jeff Hawkins and Donna Dubinsky dropped the ball. And I never understood the seperation of the Palm companies until being asked to by the SEC (or something). It seemed like it was a move to placate licensees who ended up leaving the OS anyway. The Palm companies could've saved a lot of money, time and energy trying to keep the company and the OS together to weather the flight of the licensees.
It's a company in dire straits now and I wouldn't be surprised to see them disappear from the PDA landscape at some point in the near future.
