It was found that hardly 2 percent of the people who shop use One Palm. Not worth maintaining and upgrading technologies that are not actively being used.

Interesting. Thats shockingly low for how long Palm has been out. I wonder what happened? I understand that palm reading is spooky (i saw a lot of paranoid articles when Palm launched and at least one of my friends mistook the tech for being a chip reader and told me that i had gotten the mark of the beast), but convenience is king, and the marketing seemed perfect. Even in tech-forward silicon valley, i cant remember seeing anyone use Palm except me and my spouse.

  • I love(d) it and used it every time I'd go to WF, but TBF I heard about it by "accident" (some small ad somewhere, or maybe it was in the Amazon app?) ... I got the impression Amazon just didn't want to push it much.
