Palm Resumed Smartphone Production Last Week

With Chinese New Year celebrations finished, Palm’s manufacturing partners in China are once again producing webOS smartphones after a temporary shutdown in observance of the holiday.

Sources close to Palm (PALM) tell me production resumed last week–on Feb. 22 to be exact. Ironically, that was right before the company warned that lousy sales of the Pixi and Pre and their “plus” variations would cause a revenue shortfall in the current quarter and in fiscal 2010.
