    O pessoal do Engadget conseguiu uma entrevista com o CEO da HTC, Peter Chou. Alias, estes caras já entrevistaram duas vezes o Bill Gates e outras personalidades, os blogs realmente são vistos como ferramentas estratégicas das assessorais de imprensa.

    Por falar nestes dois caras, a entrevista foi bem conduzida tentando pressionar o Chou para ver se a relação com a Microsoft tinha sido abalada depois que a HTC entrou na aliança do Google pelo Android, mas não adiantou. O CEO da HTC sempre disse que o Windows Mobile será mais usado pelas corporações e o Android pelos consumidores, pelo menos no inicio. Vale conferir.

    Last week, Palm announced Q3 earnings, and the news was a disappointing loss of millions. While that’s not necessarily news, Palm blamed the loss on a failure to launch a certain highly anticipated product. Palm wouldn’t, though, say what it was.

    We did a little digging, and two separate sources at Palm opted to stay mum when we asked if it was the rumored WinMo 6 Centro for Vodafone an American carrier. They denied other products, like the Foleo or an AT&T Palm OS-based Centro, which leads us to believe this is it is likely true.

    Palm loses $9.6M this quarter

    Palm continues to have difficulties and lost $9.6M this quarter. In the meantime, we speculate that some re-organization is underway internally, and just this morning Jim Goldman was speculating on CNBC that what Palm’s future could look like. Going private was one of the possibilities mentioned in the article.

    Whatever the future might be, Palm needs to be shaken at the core. It seems that the company needs a deep corporate culture change, may be a culture of calculated risks. This is a perilous task, because Palm needs to make a comeback in the hardware and software design at the same time, and that my friend, is hard to pull off. We wish good luck to Palm.

    I owned the Treo 600, 650 and 700w and I’d like to see Palm be cool again.
