You
started with your conclusion and are now googling and researching as much information to put forth as evidence to try and back it up. Any hint at bad news you can find on Palm, any rumor no matter how tenuous you are throwing up to support your position. How many hours of reading and searching did you do today
after your conclusion?
Instead of working the other way
around like in science.
Palm has lots of problems:
- Centro is now old/declining in sales
- Treo 800w on one carrier
- Treo Pro on one carrier/None in U.S.
- No high end Garnet devices
They are completely non-competitive in the smartphone market. Their last hope is "Nova" (not a Treo Pro).
But going back to that investor quote, doesn't that say as much about the Treo Pro, Centro and other Palm smartphones as it does the 800w? Why single out the 800w?
Because you have to support your already determined conclusion!
You are not being open minded about this at all. You already "know" your answer and are now trying to prove it.
This is what it is: a company releasing a new version of a device. We are not privy to the reasons why (
costs, popularity, production, competition, just because they can), so lets stop guessing.
Why are you so bent on trying to prove this? To what gain? No one is saying your "theory" is not plausible, it's just not any more or less plausible than the ones I or others have put forth. It's okay to say "we don't know" sometimes.
