Palm says smartphone sales fell dramatically in its fiscal third quarter, as the company lost ground against Apple and phones built on Google's Android operating system.
The company on Thursday reported that it shipped 960,000 smartphones to stores and distributors in the quarter ended Feb. 26, an increase of 23% over the same period a year ago. However, the number of phones actually sold to people plummeted 29% to 408,000 units. By comparison, Apple sold 8.7 million iPhones in its most recent quarter.
Palm's latest numbers confirmed the company's warning in February that sales to consumers and orders from carriers were lower-than-expected.

Apple introduced the iPad on Jan. 27, saying that it would ship in 60 days in the U.S. Prior to that announcement, Apple kept the iPad shrouded in secrecy, refusing to confirm its existence. That led to months of intense speculation about the device's name, usage capabilities and hardware specifications.
Apple Chief Operating Officer Tim Cook earned a US$5 million cash bonus plus stock that could be worth nearly $17 million for the six months last year that he took the helm of the company.

LG BL40 Chocolate
The LG BL40 Chocolate was the touch-screen Chocolate phone we all wanted to see here in the U.S. It's skinny, long, and is blessed with a stunning 4-inch display with a 21:9 wide-screen ratio, a high-definition "Real VGA" LCD, and a unique dual-screen UI.
