HP is buying Palm

Posted on April 29, 2010 by Mark Urbin

HP has been on a buying spree.  They bought 3Com, and now they have just purchased a former 3Com company, Palm Corp. for $1.2 billion.

The article I linked talks about what HP could do with Palm’s webOS for mobile devices, including using it in netbooks and tablet devices.

What it doesn’t talk about is Palm’s patent portfolio, which could be worth the price of the sale alone.

    I’m glad about that. Palm invented so much; it’s just a shame that there have been issues since.

    Still trying to replace my Treo 600…
