This little gem was perpetuated by tech guru and investor Roger McNamee. Of course, he is a member of the Palm (PALM) board of directors, and his firm is an investor in the company.
Did I mention that PALM shot up after his comment, before the mediocre and overpriced Pre hit the market? The company then issued shares a few days later? You and I would go to jail for doing this.
Lesson for investors in 2010: If you can handle volatility, short PALM and anything else that tries to get in the way of the Apple (AAPL) iPhone.

setec, don't worry about it. I have an ibook g3 that had a terrible failure rate. Apple did very well in the 80s, it is doing great now, but 90s was not so hot...
