Palm faced impending competition with the arrogance of Sony, and they will face a fate similar to what Sony is facing in the console market. Sony can survive this, but I doubt Palm can. Here's a quote from Palm's CEO (in an interview with the Mercury News, Nov. 2006):

Responding to questions from New York Times correspondent John Markoff at a Churchill Club breakfast gathering Thursday morning, Colligan laughed off the idea that any company — including the wildly popular Apple Computer — could easily win customers in the finicky smart-phone sector.
“We’ve learned and struggled for a few years here figuring out how to make a decent phone,” he said. “PC guys are not going to just figure this out. They’re not going to just walk in.”
Yep, Palm deserves a good kick for dropping the ball on this. I've been a longtime Palm customer, and have been waiting (and waiting) for my Palm OS6 WiFi-enabled Treo. Nothing. Depending on what additional programs the Apple iPhone can support -- it DOES run OSX, after all -- Palm might have just lost another customer. Serves them right.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
At least RIM is trying with there new slim Pearl phones.
Palm refuses to slim their phones down and add Wi-Fi.
Apple will shake this shit up!
Dinosaurs be ware.
Thank god.
