"They need to go big or go home"

First of all, don't get me wrong, I love Palm. I've got a Palm III already over 10 years ago and I am still very loyal to the brand. But it is a fact, that the marketshare of Palm got way too low to play any significant role in the smartphone market anymore.

Derek Kessler from PreCentral wrote a great article about how HP/Palm could get out of this situation by using the actual potential of WebOS-devices. I hope that HP/Palm has the same kind of agenda and enough drive to turn the brand around. If not, (and it's hurts to say that...) Palm will be gone in a year or so.
