To some the Palm Pre may not have sold as well as other phones (read iPhone), but those who understood Palm and Sprint’s strategy know that it was never the goal. Even Palm will agree that the iPhone is still in a class of it’s own, but that doesn’t make it to best phone, or the phone for everyone. That brings us to today’s financial report from Palm which shows an increasing loss, but the Pre’s sales beat expectations leaving the company with a smaller loss than expected. Palm’s new strategy is to go “all-in” with their newest operating system WebOS, letting go of Windows Mobile and the dying PalmOS. Palm can now devote all their resources to bettering WebOS and producing new devices and making sure they get those devices to as many carriers as they can.
