Palm: On a Road to Recovery or a Highway to Hell?
With Palm’s shares up more than 900 percent since January, they were destined to suffer a correction someday. And now it seems that day has finally come.

If misery loves company, then Apple may have a friend in RIM. A Citigroup analyst who has tested the company’s forthcoming BlackBerry Bold claims that the device is troubled by 3G reception woes similar to those plaguing Apple’s new handset. A noteworthy data point, since Bold will initially run on AT&T’s wireless network, just as the iPhone does.
