Double Face-Palm: Analysts React to Palm’s Lowered Guidance

in Mobile on February 25, 2010 at 11:10 am PT

No question now: Palm is in for a rough time of it. News that the company’s webOS smartphones are not selling nearly as well as hoped has incited quite a bit of analyst hand-wringing over Palm’s prospects for a comeback. Given the magnitude of the shortfall Palm is expecting, many are questioning the company’s future.

Is Verizon Deal Enough to Turn Palm Around?

in News on February 12, 2010 at 6:30 am PT

Palm’s new distribution deal with Verizon is proving a boon for the smartphone company, although less of one than you’d think, given the carrier’s size and reach. According to a trio of analyst notes released this week, Palm’s Pre Plus and Pixi Plus haven’t exactly inspired a run on Verizon stores.

It has not yet been given a price or a release date, but Palm’s forthcoming Pre handset continues to have a remarkably restorative effect on the company’s share price. It wasn’t so long ago that Palm shares were trading just above a dollar.
