It is incredible that a private equity firm will ever invest 22% (Elevation Partners has about $1.9 billion under management) of its total capital in only one company. No wonder - Bono is on their investment team. Palm has a tough fight to compete with the innovative products and services from Apple, RIM and Android.

The sad thing is that there is no market for Palm in today's iPhone/Android environment. I think the $100M is throwing good money after bad. Its time to call it quits or go with the Android bandwagon. Palm will soon go under but have a nice page in tech history. BTW all the iPhone Killers big plans desgined when iPhone was at about $400 but at $200 is impossible to kill it. I love Palm I used Treo for 5 years before I bought an iPhone 3G.

Second, Palm is, like, soooo last year. I mean, like, why will I , like, totally buy me a yucky PALM when, like, all my girlfriends have the groovy, shinny iPhone or, like the red phone with the cute little white ball in the center? Plus daddy already paid out of his ears for my iPhone. If I go tell him that I want $500 for a new PALM, he's going to yell at me, and, like, I'm gong to be soooo bump out, that I'll need a latte to make me feel swell again.

Look at the people who have it on the street. It's regular people. I think techcrunch even wrote a story a few months ago that the average iPhone user in the US has below median income.

Is this a case of having no other choice but to throw some more $$$ at Palm or are they blown away after seeing the new OS & devices and they want to invest more $$$. I just don't believe Palm will deliver anything that will save them. Very interesting.
