/ A Look Back At the Qool QDA-700 Palm OS Phone
PDA247 recently acquired a relic of the Palm OS past and has posted an interesting retro review. The device in question is a Qool QDA-700 a Palm OS smartphone from 2004 that included a number of innovative features for its time but never seemed to gain much market acceptance. Shaun says in his video review (embedded after the break) that he purchased the device for the bargain price of £25. The Qool QDA-700 was a Palm OS Garnet based smartphone based on a reference design by PiTech. It was first announced in Sept 2004 and later became available in limited quantities in Europe, the Middle East and Asia. The device included robust multimedia capabilities for its time such as a 1.3-megapixel camera, 2.8-inch color QVGA (240x320) display and a built in mp3 and mp4 video applications. It even featured support for Wi-Fi cards via its SD slot.

/ Palm Faces Strong Competition as Stock Drops
Longtime PDA and phone manufacturer Palm had a rough day Friday. Although the stock exchange rose sharply in the wake of news that the U.S. government was stepping in to stabilize the financial markets, Palm's stock fell nearly eight percent, to $7.83. The drop was driven by the release of Palm's fiscal first quarter results. The company said its revenue rose less than two percent, to $366.9 million, while its quarterly loss rose to $41.9 million, or 39 cents a share. Overall, the first-quarter report was better than anticipated (even Palm officials had predicted declining revenue), but analysts raised concerns about whether Palm can remain competitive in an increasingly crowded smartphone market. Palm 'Slow to Adapt' Greg Sterling, founding principal of Sterling Market Intelligence, said Palm is wrestling with consumers' perception of a tired brand. "Palm helped create the smartphone market with its Treo line," Sterling said, "but the company has been slow to adapt to a new competitive marketplace. The dynamics don't look as good from a consumer or business perspective." Sterling said the Palm Treos have been popular and the Palm Treo Pro should be well received. But, he added, there's a lot of new smartphones competing for consumer attention. "I think it's a fairly straightforward situation in the marketplace," Sterling said. "There's a lot more competition for the same smartphone dollars. Both Apple, obviously, and RIM have stepped up their efforts by introducing more phones and more features, targeted at both consumers and business users. And in the coming week, we'll see the rollout of the first Android-driven phone. It's tough for Palm to attract attention." No Carrier Support? One factor hampering the Treo Pro is that Palm has not yet signed a marketing agreement with a major telecommunications carrier. Instead, Palm will sell the device unlocked, which means it can be used on multiple networks...

/ Earnings: Palm Q1 Losses Jump; CEO Says They Are "In The Midst Of Our Transformation"
Palm (NSDQ: PALM) lost $41.9 million or 39 cents a share during its fiscal first quarter 2009, which widened significantly compared to the year-ago period when it recorded a loss of $841,000 or 1 cent a share. Revenues still managed a 1.7 percent gain, increasing to $366.9 million in Q1 2008 from $360.8 million in the year-ago period. Palm's CEO Ed Colligan: "While we're still in the midst of our transformation and have challenges ahead, we are bringing outstanding new products to market, hiring world-class talent and preparing to launch a new platform that will usher in a new era at Palm." The company's stock fell 56 cents today, or almost 7 percent, to close at $7.93 a share. Release. Conference call. Highlights from yesterday's call (via the transcript on SeekingAlpha): -- Treo Pro Unlocked: In Europe, Vodafone (NYSE: VOD) and O2 will be carrying Palm's new Treo Pro, which is a Windows-based device with 3G, GPS and WiFi. In the U.S., the company said it plans to launch an unlocked version, targeting business users who travel internationally, before releasing one through the carriers. -- Timing of the New Platform: The new platform will stress tight integration of software and hardware. Colligan: "We think Palm excels in this field and we'll be pressing this advantage in a big way with the release of Palm's next generation devices on our new Palm platform." The development is on track to be completed by the end of the year, and handsets are expected in the first half of 2009. -- Challenges and Outlook: Challenges include the maturing of the Centro lifecycle and the time it will take to ramp our Windows Mobile-based product sales worldwide. Revenues will still be under pressure and profits elusive, the cash burn is being kept low. The company is currently expecting Q2 revenues to be down compared to the first quarter. -- New Platform vs. HTC, RIM (NSDQ: RIMM) and Apple: During the Q&A, Colligan was asked about how the new platform will stack up: "Obviously I don't want to go into great detail about what areas of application focus and so forth but Palm has millions of customers in the marketplace that love how we have helped them manage their lives. This is a key area that we think with this platform being designed from the ground up as really integrating well into the web that we can extend that position to social networks and other services and continue to build differentiation around that..."

/ Ed Hardy-ruined Palm Centro not available to general public, and that's okay
Filed under: Cellphones, Handhelds If you were wondering why Palm just posted another less-than-stellar quarter of earnings despite the runaway success of its Centro line, we think we have the answer: it's been digging into the piggy bank to ice out its gear. Palm has commissioned Ed Hardy to "specially equip" some Centros as gifts for presenters at the Primetime Emmys (which fall somewhere between Cable Ace and Teen Choice Awards for prestige), and the result is... well, this. The designs won't be available to the general public, but we think we're going to reserve our envy for anything else.Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments
