Remember Palm?
Apparently the company is set to preview its next generation operating system, dubbed Nova. Of course this doesn’t mean they are necessarily close to actually releasing the software; but rumors of a CES preview are swirling.
CEO Ed Colligan claimed during a conference call Nova is already out in the wild. He also touts the following reason to be bullish on Palm’s prospects:
“It’s early in this space, and there’s an enormous amount of opportunity left.”
In other words, we might not have anything exceptional, or even all that interesting, but it should still be good enough to brighten the horrifically dim prospects we currently face.
I could be wrong, but it feels to me like Palm needs a moon-shot home run with this new operating system to even stand a chance of being around 2 years from now. What are the chances Nova turns out to be anything more than a fielder’s choice?
