There was shocking news on Palm's investor relations conference call this week. The company's revenue declined 24%. However the company announced that their low priced Centro smartphone is outselling any device in the history of the company, and that they are releasing a new high end Windows Mobile device this summer.

We know from earlier company conference calls that high end to Palm means GPS, WiFi and new software. Palm's high end Windows Mobile devices are being manufactured largely by HTC, one of the premier ODM and OEM smartphone manufacturers in the world. HTC informed us that they are not producing a front facing qwerty GPS & WiFi Windows Mobile device under their own brand name, and we wonder if this owes to an agreement with Palm not to directly compete.

If you are interested in hearing our complete analysis of this news, tune in to our recent podcast, in which J. Edward Rutkowski (msmobiles.com), Mickey Papillon (Cell Phone Junkie), David Ciccone (Mobility Today) and Tadd Rosenfeld (mytreo.net and Centro Site) talk about Palm's shocking earnings announcement, Palm's "high end" Windows Mobile device due out this summer, and a variety of topics (and predictions!) interesting to Windows Mobile users.
