Since Palm is nearly bankrupt, they can’t afford to get sued by Apple over their multitouch patent…thats why…

Chi Mei is one garbage manufacturer. I would be surprised if anything made by them lasted three months.

Palm does not need any rumors to doom themsleves. They did that after they sat and let the treo 600 get loooooong in the tooth while everyone else lapped them 3x over.

Such a shame Elevation Partners put so much $$$ into a nag of a horse. They should have backed a real winner like Moto (just kidding)…

Shame though all that will be left to choose from will be bb and ifart. What a choice.

HTC DOES put other devices to shame. They’re the hot hot stuff.

Yes the HTC devices are hot, the only problem is they run Win Mobile [G1 excluded] WMO is garbage and I would never buy a device running it, no matter how “hot” is was.

BUUUTTT – Yay for the above being faulted! I’m really pulling for Palm to launch this seeingly amazing device to compete with everything else that’s out there. ^_^

They weren’t able to.

They needed another $200 million directly and indirectly through Elevation Partners to get to the launch.

I’m surprised that Palm is able to float until the release of the Pre. I can’t imagine the Treo Pro is exactly flying off store shelves, and I don’t recall the last time I’ve seen a Palm device in the wild.

And when is someone going to fix the photoshopped image, so the time and coverage indicator aren’t on the plastic bezel above the display?

HTC devices really don’t put anyone to shame. see G1 for prime example.

plenty of WM examples as well.
that being said Chi Mei hopefully isn’t responsible for some of the crappy motos that have come out over the years, build quality has slipped.

@gquaglia: I don’t know if its a ’should’ thing. The rumor is that Palm is only staying alive now on loans that are banking on the Pre. Without the pre on time (which I imagine is part of the reason they’re being vague about a release date) they’re dead.

By the time Pre releases, HTC will already have another device out that will put the Pre to shame!

If the Pre doesn’t ship this year, then Palm should just close up shop now.
