Since 2002, GSI has developed Palm online stores for both the U.S. and Canada, provided special Web stores in support of Palm business-to-business sales and has created a phone sales operation to handle volume sales of Palm products. GSI has also created a factory outlet section and added third-party accessories for Palm products.
In December 2006, Palm's Web store was recognized as one of the "Best of the Web's Top 50 Retail Sites" in Internet Retailer's annual tribute to leading retail Web sites. Palm was among three GSI partner sites to earn the accolade from the publisher.
"Palm is a tremendous partner for GSI," said Steve Davis, senior vice president of partner services for GSI Commerce. "The contract extension with Palm allows both companies to build on our initial success. We look forward to further advancing Palm's brand online."
Palm's products for consumers, mobile professionals and businesses include Palm(R) Treo(TM) smartphones and Palm handheld computers, as well as software, services and accessories.
