I don't walk around with two phones, do you? Maybe Palm should consider licensing webos to other makers. It’s a zero-sum game. I don’t walk around with two phones, do you?

The Pre is not an international product yet, and some of the older devices might still do reasonably well. This is certainly anecdotal evidence only, but I do know quite a few Palm users who neither want a touch screen device, nor do they want to give up on the apps they have invested in and damand the possibility to sync with a computer locally. Not everybody wants to sync over Google / the Cloud. IMHO the really bad news from these quarterly results was that 30% decline in shipped units year-over-year. Especially since Palm's line-up 12 months ago was nothing to write home about and pretty dated already. Several investors have certainly hoped that shipments were going up after all that hype or at least stay flat.
