Rubinstein: Palm can survive alone and return to profitability

I actually like webOS more than a lot of operating systems. Its better than the iPhone OS(even with multitasking) and I'd actually prefer it over android or WM. They just had a bad experience with the pre (which overall isn't a bad phone just not the best). I'm sure that the C40 or whatever palm has hiding will sell much better. There's no reason to have or show any hate towards them... they're a small company that made a bad move and now they're moving on. Its just business... I don't see how it affects you to the point where you feel the need to want to see them "out of their misery." lol. Its not that serious, and palm has nothing to do with you... so how about you keep your childish idiotic comments to yourself because they only make you look like a jackass. :)

Odd, I was on board with you till the end of your rant. Palm has faced many challenges and lost position in the industry over the years. Although you're right that they should be given ever chance to recover, people are entitled to their opinions. No matter how poorly they're stated. I think Palm can pull this off and it sounds like their on the right track by licensing their WebOS software. Why not taking something that works and allow other manufacturers to market and sell it for you.

Opening their OS to other companies will be their savior. I havent had a chance to play with the OS but everyone who has seems to like it. If its that good ,then letting HTC, LG, Sammy, and the rest source it out will only increase visibility and find designs/horsepower that everyone likes. Where would android be if it was only google producing phones? Look how stagnant the iphone has been over the years. (its outdated ibots, get over it!). Immagine the monster devices that could have been made had Apple allowed other companies to design phones for it.

I agree that Web OS is a better operating system than the others and I think RIM should purchase Palm and use Web OS and apply there email push tech into that because Blackberry OS needs a major update.

Heres an Idea Palm should try and stay a float by offering Sprint all their flagship devices they come up with so no body buys them and then both comapnies can kick sand. Good Job Palm, some times you shouldnt go with your gut, you should go with a company that can market your phone. I dont think I ever saw a Palm Pre Commercial offered from Sprint, But I bet everone has seen at least 1 commercial about the Droid. Point made.

I agree, but like i said before I wouldn't want to see HTC drop Android phones.
