Palm announced on Thursday that its phones aren’t selling as well as expected, and revenue for the year ending in May will be “well below” its forecasts.
Here is an internal email from its CEO to all of its employees to explain the disappointment.
…As we mentioned in our press release, our softer than expected performance is due to slower than expected customer adoption of our products, which in turn has prompted our U.S. carrier partners to put additional orders on hold for the time being.
I guess it roughly translates into: “consumers aren’t choosing the Palm Pre over the iPhone even though we believe that we have a superior product, and we can’t figure out why.”
You could blame it on Apple’s better marketing if you want. Or perhaps consider following my 3 steps to beat the iPhone.
