Palm may be biggest loser when iPhone launches
The Apple iPhone launches at 6pm on Friday and promises to be the biggest thing to hit the smartphone industry...ever.
Manufacturers have been scrambling to produce handsets to at best take on, at worst mildly deflect, the impact of the iPhone, but one smartphone creator has been strangely silent.
Unlike HTC with their new Touch and RIM's BlackBerry Curve, Palm has no new compelling handset to woo customers away from Apple's shiny baby.
Piper Jaffray wireless hardware analyst T. Michael Walkley thinks the Palm Treo will be hardest hit. "With the BlackBerry Curve ramping and iPhone launching June 29th at AT&T, we view Treo as the most impacted by these launches and anticipate even further declines in sell through trends."
