Did Apple Give Palm New Style

I would agree that Apple does have a sense of what consumers are looking for in a product. Don’t believe there is really any disputing this, considering the success of the iPod, iPhone, etc. But for a past Apple exec to take his lessons from Apple and to apply then over at Palm, might not be as easy as one might think.

There is no question that the improvements made with the Palm Pre totally overshadow past failures seen with previous Palm products. But I also think that the Pre’s biggest competition is going to be coming from Android, not Apple.

The fact of the matter is that the Apple iPhone is more in competition with the BlackBerry these days. I say this as it is becoming more about the target market and less about mobile device functionality itself. The Pre is still pretty new to the market, thus far I have seen little evidence thus far that it has been able to define a market for itself just yet. It could happen, but trying to gain a piece of Apple’s own market share has proven foolish thus far.
