Palm sales 'lower in comparison to expected,' revenues to miss targets

Ruh-roh. Palm simply confirmed what we tend to heard from analysts yesterday: sales tend to be no longer definitely going thus neatly. The legal company's updated its third quarter financial direction to claim which shopper adoption up of its products could be "taking more time in comparison to expected," resulting in lowered order volumes from carriers plus deferral of a handful of orders to "future periods." That certainly puts that "Chinese New Year" Pre / Pixi work stoppage in an exceedingly marginally different context, does not it? Searching at the hot numbers, Palm says it expects non-GAAP Q3 revenue to be concerning $300m, or about the identical it pulled in in Q2 prior to the Pre Plus and Pixi Plus launched as to Verizon. That is not a smart sign, less than we'll be told if that kicks somebody at Verizon or Palm back into realizing they may perhaps wish to have a recent, less-stupid ad campaign concentrated on capabilities, not stereotypes.
