Palm Pre Information & Updates
Palm just introduced their next-gen smartphone, the Palm Pre, and next-gen operating system, Palm webOS. Gadgetell's got the latest Pre and webOS information and news for you right here.
For the first time in Microsoft’s history, the software company has reported a year-over-year decline in its sales for fiscal year 2009 (FY2009). Sales fell by 3.2% from 2008, which translates to a $1.98 billion difference. Net profits for FY2009 dropped 17% or $3.11 billion. Microsoft is pointing to the weakened global market for PCs and servers as the reason for the 2009 sales decline.
This news isn’t so rosy when compared with Apple’s most recent financial report.
