Is Palm following Apple's strategy ?
It seems that Palm is trying to transform their handheld devices into something more consumer-friendly, just like Apple did with the iMac. Now they've oppened 5 new stores in California, which proves my point. Maybe they are exploring the less nerdy type of consumer, who wants to use a handheld but is somewhat hesitant to have to learn a new operating system.
One thought that came to my mind: what if Apple bought Palm ? That would certainly create a lot of turmoil in the handheld business. PalmOS has been more easily used with Macs anyway, so it would not be a big deal to make it 100% compatible out of the box. Users have been claming for a mobile device from Apple for some time, so maybe this is the right opportunity to create it.
