Pre’s strength lies in Web’s future, not Palm’s heritage
CES 2009 may have been smaller than the 2008 edition, but this time the cell phone that stole the show was actually launched there. Before the rollout of Palm’s new handset (pre-Pre), CEO Ed Colligan talked about the company’s mobile heritage and that it was poised for success, in part, because all it is focused on is mobile. Indeed, Palm doesn’t make components like Samsung. It doesn’t make PCs like Apple. And it doesn’t make set-top boxes like Motorola.
