Despite Poor Quarter, Palm Presses On With Pre and Pixi For AT&T

Last week, Palm reported their most recent letdown: a $22 million loss. Though, despite terrible numbers, they press on to announce their recent entries to Verizon's lineup are now available on AT&T. (in case you hate making phone calls) Yes, the Palm Pre Plus and Pixi Plus are now available form AT&T in GSM flavors. In fact, not a single feature has changed from their CDMA counterparts, save the GSM receiver.

Palm will have to make some drastic changes if they expect to stay in the game. It feels like only a year ago (it was) that we were all saying the same thing. WebOS was supposed to be their savior, but now over a year later, and we're still running the same hardware, it's looking bleak yet again. Engadget's Joshua Topolsky has got some great ideas on how Palm can save themselves moving forward, but unfortunately many of their mistakes have already been made. Short of brand new stellar hardware instantly available on every carrier, a much richer developer ecosystem, and some major updates to the OS, it seems like we may really be nearing the end.
