Handspring Delays Treo, Plans To Drop Organizer Line

Posted by timothy on from the waiting-for-a-visor-sale dept.

CEO Donna Dubinsky says they're dropping "Organizers," (i.e. visors?), and most of their new Treos are going to Europe because of a parts shortage. At least their losses this past quarter aren't as bad as people were expecting--they claim profitability by this Summer. What the heck is going on over there?"

    I drop my organizer all the time, and I don't have to fold up a company to pay for the replacement...

    Dubinsky said: We are a company that is transitioning out of the organizer business and into the communicator business.[emphasis added]

    Now if they'd just work on getting the transporter functional, phaser operational, and making one-piece miniskirt outfits come back in style, I can start living the life of Kirk. ;^)

    Handspring CEO Donna Dubinsky said "We are a company that is transitioning out of the organizer business and into the communicator business. At some point we will have transitioned out of the organizer business."

    Please don't do that to the English language, Ms. Dubinsky. It has suffered enough.
