Palm‘s third-quarter results were worse than feared, possibly as a result of bad choices and the difficulty of launching a new platform. One fix could be to turn to Google‘s Android mobile operating system, which consumers are embracing. However, some financial analysts are questioning Palm’s future viability.

Palm’s poor third-quarter performance may be the result of bad choices, paired with the difficulty of rallying support behind a new mobile platform. While an aggressive ad campaign could help, it can’t be the only answer to Palm’s woes, industry analysts say.

On March 18, the maker of the Pre and Pixi mobile devices reported selling only 408,000 smartphones during the quarter—a loss of 29 percent from the second quarter of the year and 15 percent year over year.
