Video: Why Elevation Partners Invested 425 Million Into Palm?

Published: Jan 16, 2009 [Fri] 10:00am

This (6 minute 25 sec) Yahoo Finance video shows an interview with Roger McNamee and Sarah Lacy about the Palm Pre and why Elevation Partners invested 425M into Palm.

Roger McNamee shares some more information about the capabilities of Palm's webOS. Such as "when you wake up in the morning, it has taken your calendar (if you ask it to) and downloaded the maps for your whole day." He also stated that, because the Palm Pre has a calendar, a GPS, and a clock, the webOS can take specific actions. McNamee continues, "It not only knows where you are, it knows where you're supposed to be and when. So when it realizes you're going to be late, it says 'Hey, not only are you going to be late, but I can take care of it for you. I'll send an email to your assistant or to the people in the meeting, which would you prefer?'
