=DJ Palm Up -2: Palm OS To Power Canada Mobile Phones Soon By Maxwell Murphy Of DOW JONES NEWSWIRES NEW YORK (Dow Jones)--Palm Inc. (PALM) shares rose Thursday after interviews with a company executive in Toronto Wednesday were published in Thursday editions of at least two Canadian newspapers. Other makers of handheld computers were also on the uptick. According to the published pieces, Michael Mace, Palm's chief competitive officer, discussed Palm's future and its competitors. A Palm spokeswoman couldn't immediately confirm the interview. Mace, it was reported, called the problems leading up to the company's recent warnings about its future financial results "a big inventory screw up." Mace said that Palm is turning the ship around, and said its operating system will be powering mobile phones in Canada within months. One big hurdle for Palm is Microsoft Corp.'s (MSFT) handheld operating system. "We're not on a religious war against Microsoft," Mace told reporters, adding, "We would like to kill their pocket PC division and we'll do our best to do it." Mace talked about Palm's plan to establish its operating system as the industry standard, by allowing competitors like Handspring Inc. (HAND) to use and enhance the Palm OS. Palm shares recently traded at $4.54, up 39 cents or 9.4%, on volume of 14.1 million, compared with a daily average of 20.1 million. Rival Handspring shares rose 7.7%, or 37 cents, to $5.18. The maker of the Visor handheld device said early Wednesday it was launching the Visor in Korea. Blackberry maker Research in Motion Ltd. (RIMM) recently changed hands at $29.07 a share, up $1.43 or 5.3%. Share's of Compaq Computer Corp. (CPQ) - whose handheld Gartner Group's Dataquest said is likely to supplant Palm's as number one soon - were up 20 cents at $13.50. -By Maxwell Murphy, Dow Jones Newswires; 201-938-5173; maxwell.murphy@dowjones.com (END) DOW JONES NEWS 06-21-01 12:47 PM - - 12 47 PM EDT 06-21-01 -------------------- TAL News Server History: ADD : 01/06/21 12:47 PARTIAL REPLACE : 01/06/21 12:48 -------------------------------------------------- +DJ Palm Shares Up 7% After Exec Interview With Canada Media (MORE) DOW JONES NEWS 06-21-01 11:47 AM - - 11 47 AM EDT 06-21-01 -------------------- TAL News Server History: ADD : 01/06/21 11:48 PARTIAL REPLACE : 01/06/21 12:47

HIGH TIDE COMING: PALM heats up, beating the street 3 cents, Fed rates dropped 25 basis points, MSFT not to be broken up, we are facing a high tide that will lift all boats, especially PALM. As I predicted, and the CFO now confirms, PALM will be profitable again by Q2, that means obviously that it will be a TRUTH that all inventory gluts will be eliminated and there will again be a shortage of PALM devices by Christmas. The Math is simple and straight forward, with 70 to 85% market shares all PALM and PALM OS marketspaces, we are talking about PALM being THE NEXT KILLER APP. I am, Truly your$, -Crystal Ball P.S. the Grassroots corporate standard talk, was and is all about all Fortune 1000 Corporate executives and staff getting wquipped by PALM devices and on the recovery this is, as often said, the most cost effecive purchasing budget method, of giving more computing power into sales forces and executives and management and staff than anything else, plainly MORE BANG FOR THE BUCK means more PALM EARNINGS.
