“Dan Frommer Says Palm’s Decline ’Shows That Apple Is Screwed Without Steve Jobs’”
And if a bunch of [former] Apple geniuses can’t kick butt on their own at Palm, how are they going to kick butt without Steve at Apple?
That’s an interesting point, and I disagree with Gruber’s arguments about it. The thing is, though, that Palm failed for three reasons: (1) they were going against Apple, (2) they were two years late on the iPhone market, and (3) they didn’t have enough cash for the first webOS phone to be really good hardware.
None of those reasons will apply to Apple post-Jobs (for a while).
