Inside the Death of Palm and WebOS

[wraggster]

Thirty-one. That's the number of months it took Palm, Inc. to go from the darling of International CES 2009 to a mere shadow of itself (http://www.theverge.com/2012/6/5/3062611/palm-webos-hp-inside-story-pre-postmortem), a nearly anonymous division inside the HP machine without a hardware program and without the confidence of its owners. Thirty-one months is just barely longer than a typical American mobile phone contract. Understanding exactly how Palm could drive itself into irrelevance in such a short period of time will forever be a subject of Valley lore
