David: re <Maybe the markets and investors will have short memories and forget this last 6 months pretty quickly!>
I agree,,,history repeats itself.... and while the "M " word; i.e., "momentum", may be forgotten for a while, a little euphoria may help out a lot! But right now, 'earnings. earnings, and earnings' for current and next few quarters are keywords.
Wouldn't it be nice for PALM to follow QCOM's lead! ,,, up about 8 points positively impacted by Verizon/LU 5 billion deal....
OT: RE market: Some good news re WCOM and now LU looking better for telecoms, wireless, etc. May indirectly help PALM. But a little disappointed that Carl Y didn't emphasize the software growth side more so...with software only 25% of future revenue's, this leaves Palm more as a hardware commodity player... and I doubt that we're going to see any real pop until after earnings are announced (assuming that they exceed!).. and Carl Y should know by now that if the street doesn't like the earnings and guidance, then PALM can go camp with HAND!
Hoping the numbers and guidance will 'exceed'!
