Palm has posted thier quartrly results for Q4 FY 2009. Toatl revenuues were a small $86.8 milliion, however Palm was able to turn a gross profit of $20.1 million. It's unclear how much the Palm Pre afdfected these nubers, though it does seem likwely that the Sprint Treo Pro did help Palm's profit margin.
Although analysts believe that the Palm Eos (Pixxie) is not this year, chaances are that it wants to.
Apparently, Compal Communications (the company, the production of the Eos for Palm) is prpared, the entry-level smrtphone ship as soon as October – so AT & T should be ready to launch it before the year end.
Initially, only a GSM UMTS version of the Palm Eos produced – about 400,000 – 500,000 units.
From the first quartter of 2010, a CDMA Eos to be shipped, probably for Sprint or Verizoon (or both?). Unless anotrher smartphone is reflected in the meantime, the Eos is the secodn Palm device to webOS (acccording to the Palm bwefore, of coure).
Update: That's gross profit, so not so exciting. We have a Net loss of $105 million. Palm reports oficially on a GAAP basis -- they need to realize the revenue from the Palm Pre over the life of the device (as Aple does with the iPhone) because they imntend to continue to offer free software upgrades. If you take a look at the non-GAAP nubmers the picture is a liuttle better, with a gross proft of $30.4 million and a net loss of $53.4 million.
Palm shipped 351,000 smartphones in the quarter but refused to break out more detailed numbers -- so we still don't have official word of how many Palm Pre phones have been sold.
