Yeah, most will go unheeded and so you could say its all just "sound and fury signifying nothing", but sometimes someone *is* heard...

As far as confidence that Palm *knows* what they are doing and what they are putting into their phones, sorry, at this point, NO, I don't believe that Palm knows what they are doing. The Foleo and its $10mil hit for this coming quarter is just but one easy example. One quickly learns that often "there is no one behind the curtains". "Top experts" including Hawkins, aren't magical, and sometimes they just don't get it...

As far as "starting to loose (sic) their market share", wakeup, Palm *already* has lost a big part of their market share -- and the derivative is perhaps more important than the absolute numbers. Everyone *already* sees this, its been obviously for many months or longer. Palm has already posted warns of losses expected from this quarter. Palm is a SELL, as far as analysts are concerned. Money *does* talk, and the majority is going elsewhere.

We all *hope* that Palm "will notice and 'perhaps' change their direction"... but frankly the writing has been on the wall for *years*. Some of us still hope, though... we hope Palm *will* come around... before we get hit by that bus...
