KEY POINTS:
US handheld computer-maker Palm has given a weaker-than-expected outlook as sales of its Treo smartphone are hurt by rival devices, such as Apple's iPhone.
Palm reported a net loss of 1 cent per share for its first quarter ended August 31, in line with a warning it issued last month.
Palm said that for its current second quarter, it expected a profit, excluding special items, of 6 cents to 8 cents per share.
That's below the average Wall St outlook of 10 cents.
The company sees revenue between US$370 million and US$380 million, shy of the US$397 million expected by analysts.
