The new heads at Palm have released its latest quarterly financial results, stating that the company sold over 832,000 phones–most of which were Palm Pre devices. What’s really interesting about the conference call is what Palm really had to say about others in the mobile space.

Regarding Motorola and the new Moto CLIQ, Palm wasn’t too keen on Moto BLUR, stating that for a company to be successful, it had to control the experience, which includes both the hardware and software. Sounds familiar? Well, that’s been Apple’s stance, and it sure sounds like Palm’s gunning at Cupertino from its Silicon Valley headquarters. On the not so distant west coast in Redmond, Washington, Microsoft had previously stated that perhaps the hardware-software integration is vital to success, and the company states that it will work more closely with Windows Phone OEM partners in the future, squashing rumors of a Microsoft-branded Windows Phone that was rumored in Project Pink.

Speaking of Microsoft, Palm execs definitely seem to be focusing on webOS, which confirms earlier speculations that Palm will be leaving the Windows Phone business. Palm has already had a successful launch with the Pre, and the Pixi, which will also launch on Sprint again–Palm thinks they’re a great partner–in time for the holiday shopping season.

Now, we only hope Palm can actually turn a profit. According to the generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), Palm still lost out on nearly $165 million. However, since Palm uses the same subscription method for accounting for revenues for the Pre that Apple uses for the iPhone, its losses are actually lower if non-GAAP standards were used–a fair $13.6 million to be exact.

Of course, in corporate lingo, from a Windows Mobile perspective, all we can say is that we wish Palm the best of luck on its future endeavors with webOS.
