As usual Palm makes a booboo by choosing the same date to announce the Palm Pixi when Apple guru Steve Jobs returns to the helm and of course the Palm Pixi gets overshadowed just like the Palm Pre did reports pcworld.

Palm gained coverage but really should learn to hold off and let Apple have its glory or simply beat Apple in the announcements game.

Early this month sees the traditional announcement date for Apple iPods and iTunes readying for the Christmas sales, but this time Palm announced the Palm Pixi rather quietly and opted for a simple blog post and we presume a few interviews and press releases, but they still had to do it on the same day as Apple. So will Palm ever learn that anything Apple will outshine anything Palm…I doubt it.
