"In a rather unusual SEC filling, Palm has composed a free writing prospectus on the subject of Roger McNamee's recent Bloomberg TV interview and subsequent article. The SEC document includes ten itemized "Clarifications and Corrections" about remarks made by Mr. McNamee from everything from Palm Pre functionality, comparisons with competing products and various market statistics."

We covered McNamee's comments last week, and frankly, it's hysterical seeing Palm come out themselves and contradict them.  In total, Palm "clarified" ten different remarks made by McNamee about the upcoming Palm that brought the expectations more in line with that interesting thing we call reality.

I smiled when I read this. It seems that the guy angered a few Palm people with his boasts.

One word comes to mind as I read into Palm's views on this episode.

Embarrassment.

Can you imagine being in Palm's executive office suite and hearing this schmuck go on and on talking smack? They had to be horrified. Had to be.

Not because they aren't hoping it's true, but because they know how this sort of smack talk is perceived and used in the future. It's so crappy.
