Palm is Trying to Sell Itself

[babybeluga]

Would this make Palm a prostitute?

I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords and remind them that they will need loyal ambassadors to help manage the human slaves in their Unobtainium mines.

To stop the lawsuits and help advance WebOS/Android why not have Google purchase Palm? Google tells Apple that if they even think about suing Google's partners they'll sue Apple. This could potentially halt any Apple lawsuits against manufacturers of Android devices.

Also it would allow merging of technologies in WebOS and Android.

Can your smartphone multitask?
Only if it's a Pre or an Android.

Can your smartphone act as a mobile hotspot at no extra charge? Probably not.

Too bad that PALM didn't make BeOS into a free-ware OS, it could have been interesting.


They bought it, stopped it for Desktops and BeOS faded away.
