Nice clip. Heard the catch phrase that the deal with Sprint is "A Launch Exclusive" which makes me think other carriers will soon follow.

My favorite part:

[Ed Coligan] "We really knew a couple of years ago that we needed to reinvent the core operating system..."

They knew "a couple of years ago"?!?

Palm had been trying to make a successor to Garnet not for a couple of years but 7 long painful years!!!

But I'm not bitter, hey

Yeah, made sure to say that Sprint wasn't an "exclusive carrier" but is an "launch exclusive carrier". Sounds promising for those not on Sprint.

Add a little more context-- he said "We really knew a couple of years ago that we needed to reinvent the core operating system that we were working on at the time.

Kinda sounded to me like they were working on a new OS (as you mentioned 7 long years) and realized a couple years ago that they were just not on the right path or that what they'd come up with was outdated. Yeah I agree it's ridiculous it's taken them this long to come up with a replacement to what seems to me an ancient software platform... just thought the quote was a bit out of context, making it sound like he was suggesting it was 2 years ago the light went on that Palm / Garnet OS needed replacing, haha.

Cobalt was a brand new system, Access was a brand new system and they "were working on those at the time" 7 years ago. And during the development phase they were not outdated in the slightest. I'm not taking him out of context because what he's omitting is Palms failures at developing a new OS. I don't blame him for spinning it that way but we all know better. The important thing is they are on the right track now

i would hope anylong time user of plam products realizes how terrrible it is that it took them 7 years. Investors realized it - look at the stock. and most customer relaize- that's why they are no longer on top of the smartphone industry.

nice interview.
