And here now I can go visit one. AS a Philly native I was kinda miffed that I couldn't get to the Palm store in Philly International. But this one is more accessible. Time to go see what Palm's folks do in the District.

I thought Palm was failing as a company...

Palm has buckets of cash in the bank - which it receives from people buying lots of Treo's etc at prices higher than it costs Palm to make them... the math is pretty simple really... :)

26 stores is pretty impressive... I didnt realise there were that many!

palm is hardly a failing company... in fact, of late palm has been making amazing profits and so has more than enough spare cash to open a few retail stores.
