Samsung, Palm Execs Diss Apple iPhone

Samsung and Palm execs seem to be worried about Apple’s upcoming iPhone and all the buzz it generates. Otherwise there’s no good logical explanation for their rather aggressive statements.
“They’re just jumping into the party where everyone else is,” said Peter Skarzynski, a senior vice-president at Samsung Electronics Co.’s telecommunications unit in North America. Samsung’s Blackjack is currently selling very well with an average price of $150 in the USA, but that could certainly change when the Apple iPhone comes out.
“The iPhone appears to be aimed at consumers; Palm targets prosumers and business customers who require a rich e-mail experience,” said Marlene Somsak, a spokeswoman for Palm Inc. Palm’s Treo was one of the phones that Steve Jobs brought up as an example of “not-so-smart” phones during his iPhone presentation.
