Interview with Ed Colligan

David Berlind, writer for ZDNet.com, has posted <A HREF="http://www.palminfocenter.com/news/8304/zdnet-video-interview-with-ed-colligan/">a video interview with Palm CEO Ed Colligan</A> to his blog, discussing both Palm's new Centro smartphone and their cancelled Linux-based Foleo subnotebook.

The interview questions consist of a mix of predictable and interesting topics, with Colligan doing most of the talking and issuing the anticipated responses to most questions. Some of the topics addressed during the interview by Colligan include the Centro targeting cheap featurephone competition as well as the fact that all of the various forms of smartphones comprise only "5%" of the market's annual sales. The low price point of the Centro is attributed to Palm "doing it in partnership" with Sprint with no mention of cost-reduced component integration, specification reduction, or reduced margins on the device from Palm.
