Palm uses Blackberry outage to their advantage

Story posted on: February 14, 2008. Filed in: palm.

The last few days, more information has been unearthed concerning weekend outage of the Blackberry network. While the problem seems to be boiled down to a matter of simple maintenance, this isn't stopping smartphone competitors from using the outage to their own advantage.

Palm whipped out a full page advert in newspapers across the US which prominently proclaims "Palm smartphones include voice, e-mail, text, Web, calendar, and contacts. And most importantly, uptime. Connect to your Microsoft Exchange Server. No third-party servers and no nationwide blackouts." If this isn't in response to RIM's shady outages, than it's just very convenient timing.
