Ouch.

Completely agree.

Moneyquote: "At this point an epitaph seems appropriate. And for that we dig back to November 2006, when Ed Colligan, then head of Palm, was having a breakfast with a number of US journalists. The rumours about a forthcoming phone from Apple – computer makers with no experience in phones, of all people! – came up. Colligan was dismissive.

"We've learned and struggled for a few years here figuring out how to make a decent phone," Colligan laughed. "PC guys are not going to just figure this out. They're not going to just walk in."

Two months later, Steve Jobs launched the iPhone. Just under five years later, Palm is effectively dead. Technology is a brutal world."

Great message.

Not Samsung.

Moneyquote: "Apotheker says he also wants to make better use of WebOS, the computer-operating system acquired last year when Hewlett- Packard purchased smartphone maker Palm Inc. for $1.2 billion. Starting next year, every one of the PCs shipped by HP will include the ability to run WebOS in addition to Microsoft Corp.’s Windows, Apotheker said."

Another nail in the Microsoft Windows coffin.
