From the looks of those charts, and from reading the article, PalmOne is going to have a tough time keeping itself cool. Some of the compelling thoughts that I recall...

* Palm (now PalmOne) has a history of hitting a home run, and then floundering for the following years... they just hit a home run with the Treo 600.

* PalmOne's winning horse is the lone Treo 600... while their big mobile phone competitors will be releasing a plethora of competing products in the next 12 months... in most cases several per company.

* Microsoft is rapidly sucking up PalmSource's marketshare, while both are minimal players in the worldwide Smartphone market.
