Just attended the Palm shareholder meeting

illadelphatic · 06/25/2010, 10:57 AM

What time is the stockholder vote that will allow Palm to be sold to HP?

Abyssul · 06/25/2010, 11:41 AM

9am Pacific, 12 Eastern (aka right now)

jakerome · 06/25/2010, 12:00 PM

arrived at the shareholder meeting at 9:10 this morning. At that point the meeting was already over. Talking with Teri after we learned:

There will be no earnings report this quarter.
There are great new products on the way.
Rubenstein will lead the new H/Palm smartphone/mobility unit which will absrob the iPaq division.
the deal is expected to close the first week of July.
HP wanted Palm to warn at the merger announcement so that the bad news was all out in the open.
Verizon ordered nearly 1 million phones, and essentially didn't order any this quarter.
AT&T launch has gone better than Verizon, as the staff is much better trained.
Sell-through overall has improved this quarter but still isn't quite where they want it.
we should expect great new products, and Teri was especially enthusiastic about the launch of webOS 2.0 and new hardware to go with it, but she didn't offer any details.

Things like these are usually just formalities. You don't need to put your lunch on hold for it.

magistus · 06/25/2010, 12:11 PM

Major Payne · 06/25/2010, 12:11 PM

windzilla · 06/25/2010, 12:12 PM

wynand32 · 06/25/2010, 12:12 PM

Closing the first week of July? That's HUGE news! And incredibly exciting.

spdsktr · 06/25/2010, 12:13 PM

And here I thought we were gonna get 1.5. Now it will be 2.0.

Need to get to work on apps for tablets too.

Jakerome has a pedigree on these forums as a professed stock holder, and has written about it for a while.

I have no reason to believe he wasn't there.

edit, when i say no reason, I am leaving out the fact that its the internet, but jakerome does have a long history on the forums and dosn't seem to have been one of those playful "flash is here!, gotcha!" people. that and he has specifics, gave a timeframe that a poser would have thought too short, but in reality is probably correct, and he dosn't have much to gain otherwise.
