Now if only you could engage Palm to roll out software updates that (a) work, and (b) actually appear before the device goes the way of the dinosaurs.]]>Aug 23rd 2007 9:38PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/08/23/palms-ed-colligan-responds-to-our-open-letter/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/08/23/palms-ed-colligan-responds-to-our-open-letter/Aug 24th 2007 12:47AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/08/23/palms-ed-colligan-responds-to-our-open-letter/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/08/23/palms-ed-colligan-responds-to-our-open-letter/Aug 24th 2007 8:49AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/08/23/palms-ed-colligan-responds-to-our-open-letter/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/08/23/palms-ed-colligan-responds-to-our-open-letter/Aug 24th 2007 10:08AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/08/23/palms-ed-colligan-responds-to-our-open-letter/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/08/23/palms-ed-colligan-responds-to-our-open-letter/Aug 24th 2007 12:44PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/08/23/palms-ed-colligan-responds-to-our-open-letter/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/08/23/palms-ed-colligan-responds-to-our-open-letter/
Once again, the reply was good but future plans--or at least a not-too-subtle-but-legal-nor-marketing-will-complain hint--about something upcoming wouldn't hurt. You know, to keep our interest.

And what comments could they have *not* agreed with? They *all* were dead-on and were vocalized non-offensively or at least nicer than I would've....but then again, he probably wouldn't replied to mine....maybe legal would've, though.]]>Aug 25th 2007 4:28AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/08/23/palms-ed-colligan-responds-to-our-open-letter/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/08/23/palms-ed-colligan-responds-to-our-open-letter/
They have lost touch with market many years ago.

Most talented developers went to (sadly) Mobile Windows many years ago.

And now it is just too big gamble for them. Because heck the things are expensive. MSFT saturated market with PocketPCs - brining their prices down considerably, tapping into new development talents in emerging markets.

Palm lost it. And I doubt they would regain what they have lost: trust of market, trust of developers.

P.S. And what the heck of the response is that??? I have worked in many small/mid/big businesses. Saying that you have forwarded something to higher ups is as good as saying 'f*** off'. That means just another point during lunch conversation: "did you read the memo?" If the guys would have said "I have started drafting new business plan" - that might have meant something. Though I wouldn't be holding my breath: Palm to me with such high prices and backward technology was as good as non-existent anyway.]]>Aug 26th 2007 5:27AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2007/08/23/palms-ed-colligan-responds-to-our-open-letter/http://mobile.engadget.com/2007/08/23/palms-ed-colligan-responds-to-our-open-letter/Sep 6th 2007 5:22AM
