Handheld maker Palm cut the price of its m515 last week from $399 to $349. In July, Palm reduced the price of all its mobile devices except the m515, which at the time was the top-selling unit in the retail market, according to research firm NPDTechworld. In August, the m515 was the fifth best-selling device in the retail market.
