Palm Block DaVinci Sales
from the imitation-is-the-sincerest-form-of-flattery dept
Palm Computing has won an injunction against Olivetti to make them stop selling their DaVinci which is basically a copy of the Palm machine but for a lot cheaper. What's odd is that Palm took so long to actually do something about it. I remember when the DaVinci's first came out and the boxes even looked deceptively like the PalmPilot boxes.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
