Interview with the CEO of Palm
The New York Times interviews the CEO of Palm. They are going after the big fish and trying to be the number one smartphone player in 2010 when the world will be consuming 1 billion cellphones annually.What are the competitive advantages you have over R.I.M.? A. Really the advantages are the application suite. We do wonderful browsing; MP3; we have a camera; and we have the e-mail. We have a great personal information management integration. We have an expansion slot that allows you to add gobs of memory. So it’s a very powerful open platform and probably the most important thing, the one thing that we focus on is the design of it in the sense that you have the full keyboard to be able to enter a lot of information, but you also feel comfortable putting it to your head and using it as a phone.
