10 reasons why Microsoft must buy Palm now

Microsoft's Dropped Call
,----[ Quote ]
| Reasons to feel bearish about Microsoft
| aren't hard to find. But it's the software
| giant's diminishing profile in the mobile
| world that is the talk of Silicon Valley
| right now.
|
| The explosion of mobile applications on
| devices like Apple's iPhone and Motorola's
| Droid presages far-reaching changes in
| consumer behavior. Google gets that. Aside
| from helping develop the Android mobile
| operating system, the company plans to buy
| mobile ad firm AdMob. And now it is working
| on plans to sell its own phone.

The Sad Decline of Windows Mobile
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft has been plugging away at the
| mobile computing market for almost as long
| as Windows has been around. I'm thinking
| of products like Windows for Pen
| Computing, or the original Windows CE for
| handheld devices. At best, you could say
| that the consumers were willing but the
| platforms were weak.

Will developers be the next battleground in smartphones?
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft is at risk of falling into last
| place in mobile phones if it doesn't do
| something about it. So what's the one
| strength Microsoft can bring to the table?
| Developers, developers, developers.
| They're one of the factors that has made
| Microsoft a success on desktops, and it
| might well play in the mobile space.
