Palm for sale

In the up and down world of Palm it's sometimes difficult to know where Palm is on the roller coaster.  Palm has put itself up for sale and that could be good or bad. There are some interesting possibilities that could keep Palm's WebOS alive. We've heard rumors of HTC, RIM, Dell, Lenovo and several others being possible buyers and all of them have positive reasons for wanting Palm's assets.

There was a time when the Palm Pilot was THE must have accessory. Pulling out your Pilot showed the world that you were a cutting edge geek. Today Palm is a minor player in a game dominated by other players. I've always loved Palm PDAs and phones and I will personally miss them if they disappear.

  1. And all of this comes on the same day that 3Com is acquired by HP. Many years ago 3Com actually owned Palm and spun it off. What goes around, comes around.
