Palm, Inc. (NASDAQ:PALM) CEO Ed Colligan was reported to have laughed off the idea of a smart-phone created by any company, including Apple Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL). He seemed "downright nonchalant about rumors that Apple may introduce a mobile phone to the market in the coming year."
Memo To Ed Colligan: WAKE UP! Apple's phone, as reported yesterday in USA Today, is closer than ever to becoming reality. American Technology Research analyst, Shaw Wu said, "From a technical standpoint, the phone is pretty much done. It's a big endeavor and we believe it's beyond speculation."
Look out Ed Colligan (and the folks at RIM), Apple took over the digital music industry, has regained its brand esteem in the computer biz, and it is poised to make some noise in the mobile phone sector too. Did I hear a pin drop?
Apple Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL) closed today at $74.63, up 41 cents or 0.55% on a day where the stock price just marched steadily and slowly upwards.
