NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Palm's road to recovery has taken a sharp turn
south now that Google's Android phones at Motorola have given
smartphone investors a new compass point.

Shares of the Pre phone maker have fallen 30% in the past month,
capped by a 13% single-day drop Friday.

The stock price continued to fall Monday after Citi analysts
downgraded Palm and BlackBerry maker Research In Motion to sell and
upgraded Motorola to a buy.

The move comes just five days before Motorola's Droid phone starts
selling at the nation's No. 1 wireless shop, Verizon.
