Palm refuses to slim their phones down and add Wi-Fi.

Apple will shake this shit up!

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.
