HP to Acquire Palm for $1.2 Billion
http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/press/2010/100428xa.html
I have both Palm and HP handhelds, the HP one is running Windows CE which I think is dire on a phone - OK on a thin client. Without a real iPaq I wouldn’t like to comment on relative merits. HP are certainly pushing their TouchSmart and Palm were the people who introduced me to usable touch screen technology.
We’ll just have to wait and see if this is giving Palm the thumbs up or the finger

I’ve never owned a computer that isn’t a Mac, nor a handheld that isn’t a Palm. I’ve used them both because they do what I want. The iPhone is great, but it does about one zillion things I don’t require. If available in Hong Kong, and with HP’s substantial backing now included, I’ll wait a little further for the new Palm.
