Companies with Little Future Left

Here are a couple of businesses treading shallow waters.

GET WITH IT OR DIE:
- Palm
This company made some smart moves with the Centro but seriously the Palm OS and Windows Mobile OS phones are terrible. This company needs to update their designs and adopt something like Google's Android.

- Transmeta
Normally I'd support this company but recent rumors about executives paying themselves fat bonuses make me worry. What concerns me even more is how Via Technologies is offering up awesome new 64bit processors (Isaiah architecture) at the low-end that more than make Transmeta an irrelevant company with their lackluster innovation.

- Amiga
Companies like these should just become opensource organizations and forget about the commercial aspect until they can make their product competitive enough, otherwise they're just wasting people's money.
