Palms
Remember Palm - the first smartphone and PDA company that everybody stopped using way back when? Well, it had come out with Palm Pixi and Palm Pre, 2 phones based on its new WebOS platform, but both have crashed and burned rather ingloriously.
The company is now mulling a sale. Should Microsoft buy it? After all, MS has bought most of its most successful products (Word, Excel, etc.) and its smartphones haven’t been doing too well recently. Plus, Redmond needs some new blood and ideas to stanch the outflow of brain and bodies.
Anyone for re-starting Microsoft’s famous picnic and restoring some of those lost benefits that have sent people over to Google and other competitors?
