11 Feb 09 Palm Doesn’t Want to Fight Apple… For Now
Maybe Palm knows it doesn’t really have a chance to win a patent game against Apple’s multitouch. Or maybe Palm wants to make sure its Pre will be as good as it people expect it to be. Whatever the reason, the president and CEO of Palm, Ed Colligan says that the company isn’t considering a patent war against Apple’s iPhone as it is prefers to focus on the Pre. Here’s what he had to say:
It’s like two little porcupines going around, and you don’t want to touch each other because you might get stung. You peacefully coexist and everything’s OK and you keep working together. We’re very respectful about people’s intellectual property, we believe we’re huge innovators and have been for a lot of years and that this product has an enormous number of innovations in it. If something does happen there, we do have the portfolio, we think to defend ourselves and to be successful doing that. But nothing’s happened to date, so we’re really just focused on getting the product out the door.
The new webOS will certainly be the thing to watch this year as it will replace the PalmOS you’ve gotten used to. Palm will also release an app store for the Pre when it arrives as this seems to be the recipe for success.

I believe that Apple have established their place in the phone industry, and Palm have made it early but not made it on the way, now that Palm Pre is taking its come back, with the new WebOS maybe Apple should gave a healthy competition on both.
