Palm is really feeling it these days as DataViz, a staple company in the mobile software space, has publicly admitted that due to the "current environment at Palm" the popular DocsToGo for webOS is at a "standstill."
Kathleen McAneany of DataViz wrote on the company's blog:
"We are continuing our efforts to work with Palm to clear the path for a full editing version of Documents To Go. However, given the current environment at Palm, as well as the necessary collaboration with the device manufacturer that is required to bring an app like ours to a platform like webOS, our Documents To Go editor product for webOS is essentially at a standstill.
As soon as we have any additional information, we will inform you immediately.
Thanks for your passion surrounding our solution."
If DataViz is on hold with DocsToGo, that doesn't speak well for Palm at all. In conjunction with the departure of Palm's SVP of Software and Services, Mike Abbott, the many rumors of Palm on the hunt for a buyer, it appears that Palm is on the brink of disaster.
The company continues to keep a stiff upper lip and project confidence that they can make it through these hurdles, but it seems that only bad news continues to trickle out. Where is the good news for Palm?
Get some better hardware Palm, and get a seasoned CEO with a proven track record. You've got the best OS in the mobile space but too many mis-steps have cost you.
