Palm Losing Money

With all of the hype surrounding the smartphones today, one company is struggling substantially more than others. Palm, a major smartphone manufacturer, has recently said that it is not making nearly as much money as it had projected. They did not give a reason for it, but an article I found did say that other companies like Apple (and their iPhone) and the Blackberry manufacturer are doing quite well. The question is whether this represents a change in what PDA/smartphone users desire. The Palm has always been known as having a simpler interface and easier to use. Something like the iPhone is substantially "fancier," and people probably need some sort of computer experience to use something like that. Perhaps now that most people have extensive computer knowledge, the PDA users are looking more at "fancier" products as well. I guess it only time will tell if this is a true pattern or if Palm just had a down quarter.
