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

Ruh-roh. Palm simply confirmed what we have a tendency to heard up from analysts yesterday: sales have a tendency to be no longer definitely going therefore smartly. The company's updated its third quarter financial direction to claim which consumer adoption of its products could be "taking more time in comparison to expected," resulting in lowered order volumes from carriers plus deferral of a bunch of orders to "future periods." That certainly puts that "Chinese New Year" Pre / Pixi match stoppage in a very 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 would possibly desire a recent, less-stupid ad campaign targeted on capabilities, not stereotypes.

We tend to were given a couple up of minutes nowadays to take a look at the hottest build on Notion
Ink's Adam prototype which we first saw back at CES. Favor we
heard pertaining to week or thus ago, readily available could be sufficient to indeed be two versions of
the Adam --
one plus is the reason able to be Twelve.Nine mm thick and boast the
Pixel Qi 3Qi e-paper screen, and a closer, thinner, non-Pixel Qi
screen. The thinner, lighter version will measure in at Eleven.Six mm
thick. As much as we all be familiar with, the most effective difference during the two
Tegra-powered Adams have a tendency to be going to be the display, and that we also listen to they are already
shooting for a third quarter of 2010 launch. In the meantime, check

Samsung to mass generate Three.3-inch touch-embedded AMOLED panels




Wish to have a mystery to keep you bewildered? The reason being one: which layer from
nothingness between the touch-sensing glass plus the final display though to your
phone. Who knows what that could be, Samsung's concerning to
blow it away together allowing for a recent Three.3-inch WVGA AMOLED touchscreen
coming back in March. The magic lies during the on-cell touch technology --
0.001mm-thick capacitive touch sensors have a tendency to be deposited between the
panel's substrate and the bottom polarizer film, therefore weeding out the
same old touchscreen glass canopy and the distance that follows. If each one could be going
smartly, Samsung ought to be delivering thinner and lighter phones with
slightly brighter touchscreens in a very couple months' previous point, or most likely
phones in the present package less than with bigger batteries. Sorry,
LCD, but we've were given got a new crush to concentrate on.
