palm fans, this is the ceo who is taking over??? Att just released the pre plus and will be releasing the pixi plus later this week. Palm WebOS phones are now on three major US carriers, in canada, mexico, europe, and china. And many of these carriers were just added. So if webos and palm are "failed" ventures, what gives? Why are all these carriers picking up a supposedly dead platform? Is it to hold on to past palm pda/treo/centro users? That doesn't make sense. but why else would verizon and att pick up the pre and pixi plus, yet not really advertise it as a top tier smartphone and instead stash in the back of the showroom with all those capable but consumer undesirable winmo 6.5 phones?
hp's ceo's announcement and timing, and carriers recently adding webos devices to their offerings without promoting them, something just doesn't add up. I feel like there is a HUGE unexplained scenario here.
regardless, palm users, lets face it,we are in a very vulnerable, confusing, and sensitive situation to begin with and this ceo's rambling has NOT helped calm the situation. Even if palm or hp clarify things over the next few days, tonights hp announcement has left us all with a little sense of WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?
ramblings, late at night...
goodnight
Ya but at the same time carriers like Bell are basically paying you to get rid of their Palm inventory.
Free Phone + 300$ + 75$ worth of accessories says a lot.
