Well, Palm is getting a tad desperate sounding. Instead of dropping the price of their very nice but also very old T|X mobile device, they’re offering a relatively useless Zire Z22 for free. I can see a number of issues with this. First, Palm apparently can’t see a way of reducing the T|X’s price. They could easily cause a small rash of excited sales if they did. Second, if someone is looking for a powerful PDA, they’re not interested in a free pocket calculator. Third, if they’re in the market now, they’re far more likely to seek out more recent devices, and that’s not a Palm T|X. Maybe they just need to clear some shelves for the next models. A guy can dream!
