Rubinstein In, Colligan Out as Palm CEO』とあり、
Palm’s announcement today naming Jon Rubinstein chairman and CEO, replacing Ed Colligan as chief executive, was hardly a surprise. Rubinstein, a former senior Apple executive, has been running the show since taking on the odd title of executive chairman nearly two years ago. But Colligan’s departure marks a final break with the old Palm, and I can’t help taking a look back at the company’s tumultuous history.レポーターも指摘しているように、驚くには値しません。あまりにも遅過ぎた交代と...:clown:

Palm OS Is Dead, Long Live Pre and Windows Mobile』とあり、
The Palm OS is a dead duck. Palm's CEO Ed Colligan has signed its death sentence today. But while there will be no more new Palm OS products, their Windows Mobile smarty-panty-phones will survive (!):
Talking to investors today, Colligan said there was no point in keeping on with its development.
• No more Palm OS devices to be released by Palm. Only third-parties will do them.
• From now on, it's only webOS (the operating system in the Pre, pronounced "huevos" in Spanish, which means "eggs" or "cojones") and Windows Mobile devices.
• He also talked Apple, saying they didn't want to get into a patent fight because they also had a big portfolio and it may turn nasty for both.
Originally developed by US Robotics in 1996, the Palm OS leaves a long list of children, grandchildren, some bastards here and there, and a lot of die-hard users behind. It will join the Amiga OS and Be OS in the land of the cool-stuff-that-is-gone-gone.まあ、当然と言えば当然でしょうが、Access社などとマトモに協業しなかったのは残念でした。嘆かわしいですね。会社は製品だけでなく、基本理念も大切なのですが... "
さようなら、Palm!"

最近多くのメディアが報じていますが、ノキアは日本市場から事実上撤退するようです。BBCに『
Nokia to end phone sales in Japan』とあり、
Finish mobile phone giant Nokia has said it will stop selling its handsets in Japan after struggling to grow its market share in the country.
Nokia said it would continue selling its luxury Vertu brand in Japan, and would dedicate its Japanese business to research purposes.
Samsung and LG have also faced problems in Japan - a market dominated by sophisticated domestic phones.
Nokia said recently that it would cut costs because of the global downturn.
"In the current global economic climate, we have concluded that the continuation of our investment in Japan-specific localised products is no longer sustainable," said Nokia executive vice president Timo Ihamuotila.
Nokia has nearly 40% of the global market for mobile phones, but it reportedly managed to take only 0.3% of Japan's market last year.
Tough market
According to research firm IDC Japan, foreign companies account for only 5% of the Japanese market, which is dominated by local firms selling phones with features such as TV broadcasting and electronic payment functions.
Japanese manufacturers have only a small presence outside their home market, which also has an advanced third-generation network that makes it difficult for foreign firms to compete.日本は西洋と違います。あのNokia流では通じるはずはありません。ふと、Palm社を思い出しました。本気で取り組まない会社は日本では決して成功しません。残念ですが、Nokiaもその程度の企業だったかと...
