SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Smartphone maker Palm Inc (PALM.O) on Thursday posted a narrower-than-expected loss despite a steep revenue decline, sending its shares up more than 7 percent.
    
The maker of the Pre posted a net loss applicable to common shareholders of $105 million, or 78 cents a share, in the fiscal fourth-quarter ended May 29, compared with a loss of $43.4 million, or 40 cents a share, in the year-ago period.
    
Excluding items, Palm's loss came to 40 cents a share, versus an average analyst estimate of 65 cents a share, according to Reuters Estimates.
    
Revenue fell more than 70 percent to $86.8 million, versus a Wall Street estimate of $80.3 million.
    
Shares of Sunnyvale, California-based Palm closed at $14.02 on the Nasdaq and rose to $15.03 in extended trading. The company's shares have more than quadrupled this year.
