How Palm took off the crown from HP

Alexander Turcic · 04-23-2006, 12:41 PM

Michael Mace, former CCO of PalmSource, has a personal blog, and it's always entertaining to read his accounts of events in the world of mobile gadgetry. The following comment, which he made after walking the busy halls of CTIA, clearly underlines the strong integration between Palm and Microsoft that has ripened ever since Palm jumped in bed with Windows Mobile.

Palm and Microsoft, sittin' in a tree...
Palm is doing an extremely good job of leveraging its relationship with Microsoft. The Palm booth was in a very visible spot, right next to Microsoft, and they were featuring each others' products. Meanwhile HP, the single largest licensee of Windows Mobile products, was stuck some distance away in an obscure booth overshadowed by another pavilion. Even after I found HP's spot, there were almost no mobile devices on display. CTIA underscored how far behind HP has fallen in the phone market.

I know it is extremely nerdy and cheesy to put it this way (yep, yet another invasion of the gamers), but....

HP has been PWNED. Simply and completely :-)

You forgot the "PWN3D!!!11!1!!"

I weep for my future children's grammar.

yeah ... and I am really surprised that "whether" and "weather" keep appearing like they are twins.
