Palm Responds to the iPhone

Posted by Hemos on from the trying-to-come-back dept.

Several people noted a NYT piece about Palm's response to the iPhone. Essentially, their response appears to be to hire a former Apple engineer and a couple other folks -- while also pursuing plans to perhaps sell the company. Nothing like a dual approach to the problem.

    My Treo syncs to my desktop now. My XBox 360 plays music and video from my PC, as well as my regular XBoxes.

    Looks like everybody else "got it" years ago.

    Apple sells jewelry.

    What Apple gets, and what I think is the future, is making all these things together. The Newton syncs to your desktop at home. The Pippin can play content from your Mac at home. It's not about replacing your computer, it's about extending it.

    Microsoft is very late to the game. Also, their implementation is crap, and they're stealing the paradigms, not innovating them.

    Being first doesn't mean that you actually did get what you were doing :-P
