My source says the new iPhone comes with a GM EV car as a peripheral device.

Sanjay Jha uncovers Motorola strategy to stardom
May 1, 2009“We need to have profits under all circumstances, and then have hits on top of that,”

Palm Pre already called a failure
May 1, 2009Let’s give it a chance, folks:
Collins Stewart analyst Ashok Kumar claims that his supply chain checks indicate that Palm has “drastically reduced its production orders” for the Pre.

He even goes so far as to describe that figure as “highly unrealistic.”
