“We think the market is big enough. There is such a consumer demand today, especially in the handheld market, that there is room for another player -- albeit a small one -- but there is room for more choice,”
Carl Freer
“The market for handheld devices is really excellent. Palm can sell everything it makes.”
Paul Sagawa
“The handheld market has been in decline since 2001. The biggest problem is that there hasn't been a killer application.”
David Linsalata
“While Nintendo has experienced market share declines in the console and handheld industries, their moves are very important for third party publishers.”
Evan Wilson
“The converged device market is growing at more than 60 percent a year. This realignment positions the handheld team to more clearly focus on navigating this fast-paced market while PSG continues to accelerate its trend of profitable growth.”
Todd Bradley
“We didn't want it to be seen as a competitor to the other handheld gaming devices in the market. We wanted to offer consumers a completely new world, as we did with PlayStation and PlayStation 2. So we looked at what would be the right value proposition to consumers in North America and decided including all these accessories... plus the demo disk and [the ability] to enjoy 'Spider-Man' out of the box was the best value proposition.”
Kaz Hirai
“The ability to scribble notes, maps and drawings and then store them on a handheld is a great addition to our traditional data input through the on-screen keyboard or graffiti. And true to the Palm experience people have come to expect, the m100 is fun, flexible and very simple to use.”
