PDA News – PalmSource stock, Verizon Treo update, Smartphone as mouse

PalmSource stock hits record low

Stock in PalmSource closed at a record low price on Wednesday, ending the day at $8.00 per share, after testing the $7.92 mark earlier in the day. The stock has been in decline for some time, among concerns about the company’s lack of profitability and vague long term plans. Even the recent announcement that the company was cutting 50 jobs, or 16% of its workforce, failed to overcome the news that they expected an unprofitable quarter.
