  • PALM INC NEW Profile

    Palm read the future and decided to split. A leading provider of handheld computers, the company offers products ranging from entry-level devices to pricier models that include Internet features. The Palm line tops out with its Treo line of smart phones. The company sells its products directly and through distributors, wireless service carriers, retailers, and other resellers. With a move that differentiated its dual revenue streams, Palm split into two units; it spun off its operating system licensing business as PalmSource (now ACCESS Systems Americas) in 2003. It now offers both ACCESS and Microsoft-based products.
