Comments on: 10 Reasons Why the Palm Pre Will Not Be an “iPhone Killer” But Could Kill Palm http://www.acmeplex.com/2009/04/03/10-reasons-why-the-palm-pre-will-not-be-an-iphone-killer/ Everything Will Eventually Blow Up ...

If Palm were smart, they would focus on India, China and Indonesia where not everyone has a mobile phone and there are a lot more people (1 billion more). Blackberry and Apple have no real presence in those countries. The cheese moved. Palm needs to get up and look for it.

If (when?) it becomes available on the other networks, then it's game over for the competition. The biggest limiting factor in iPhone sales is the fact that they are only available through AT&T.

It is also an ecosystem - where obtaining an iPhone is only the first part. Ecosystems are highly difficult to market. Only Apple has been successful in doing this.
