FT.com has published some quotes from Jon Rubenstein that Palm can survive as an independent if no one wants to buy it. I think that he has to say this to stop sales going down the toilet even quicker than they are already.
“Jon Rubinstein, chief executive, said that Palm would look at letting other mobile manufacturers use its critically acclaimed smartphone operating system in a move that could boost the company’s revenue.
Palm’s revenue warning in February underlined how it is struggling to gain the scale necessary to survive in the highly competitive smartphone market, which is led by Apple’s iPhone.
Mr Rubinstein, however, said he was “bullish” about Palm’s long-term prospects. “I believe Palm can survive as an independent company,” he told the Financial Times. “We have a plan that gets us to profitability.”
