What Does SmartMoney Want To Imply With This Headline?

I just read the headline “Tech Stocks slip as Palm and RIM decline” and am wondering what SmartMoney (innovators of the famous “Map of the Market”) wants to imply!?

As if “loser brands” such as Palm and RIM would have anything to do with a decline of other tech stocks. For me this looks like a case of fewer people wanting to buy an outdated, unsexy device and turn to Apple with the iPhone, HTC or the Motorola Droid than the industry having a problem in general.

What do you think?
