Laughs Off? should they?

Ok, I am not trying to be mean or smart, but first thing I saw the news over PalmInfocenter, I felt very uncomfortable.

Quote from MercuryNews:
We’ve learned and struggled for a few years here figuring out how to make a decent phone,” he said. “PC guys are not going to just figure this out. They’re not going to just walk in.”…..


The word of: “We’ve learned and struggled for a few years here figuring out how to make a decent phone…” sounds very bad in my own opinion, isn’t it their responsibility and job to learn what he thinks they did well and it took them to struggled a few years?

As a long fans of PalmOS, how “smart” then did Palm went in the pass few years? How many market share/maunfactuer/supporter were left? (I do agree the word “struggled” used in the speech tho.)

In an old Chinese slang, there is a say: It does not matter who started to learn first, who learn faster and better become the leader/teacher/master.”

I instantly thinks of the story about “The race of Turtles and the Rabbit”…

Just my 2 cents…
What do you think?
