Why does anyone care what Apple does. In the big picture palm doesn't have to compete with Apple. I am tired of this notion that they need an "iphone killer". There is plenty of market for more than one phone out there and Palm does not need to compete with Apple in order to stay in business. They can stay a smaller company and make profits enough to keep in business and keep making good products and thats all I care about.

Apple was in the same position before they got into the whole iPhone/iPod business which made them huge again. Microsoft dominated the computer industry and Apple became a minority. They turned things around and put out OSX which has a lot of similarities to WebOS in the way people viewed it. Its still not anywhere near #1 but they have kept putting out great computers with great software on them. They do quite well selling laptops and mac mini's and don't have to be #1 as long as they do what they need to.
