Even as push-email gathered momentumand technology rivals acquired a stand in that segment, Palm hasstubbornly stayed out of the market. In November2005, Nokia ( NOK ) acquired independent wireless messaging player Intellisync as a way to extend into the enterprise messagingmarket. Earlier this month, Motorola undefined bought GoodTechnology that put the company in competition with Research inMotion's ( RIMM ) Blackberry service. Palm, which has shipped fewer units than RIM over the course ofits history in the mobile device market, does not sell mobile emailsoftware like RIM does -- something that has continually annoyed analysts. Palm may soon need to make an acquisition there to restore faith."They need to have a push-email initiative," says Lawrence Harris, ananalyst with Oppenheimer & Co., which does not hold shares or have abanking relationship with Palm. "They have a great OS, but they need toalso have an email solution."
