Company Overview
| Company: | Palm, Inc. |
|---|---|
| Industry: | Wireless Telephone Handsets |
| Website: | http://www.palm.com |
Palm is trying hard to reverse its loosening grip on the mobile communications market. Historically the leading provider of handheld computers, the company now primarily markets Internet-enabled mobile phones (also known as smart phones). Its phone line includes the entry-level Centro and more advanced Treo and Pre lines. The company sells its products directly and through distributors, wireless service carriers, retailers, and resellers. Its carrier partners include AT&T, Sprint Nextel, and Verizon Wireless. The company markets its products globally; however, the majority of its revenue comes from sales in the US. Palm traces its roots back to 1992.
