I think you mean "WebOS".  "PalmOS" was what they used on their Palm PDAs, and 
on the early Treo phones.  Different critter altogether, although there is a 
PalmOS emulator that runs inside WebOS now.

Re: HP to buy Palm

[Jonathan Link]

Acquisitions at the large corporate level are typically designed for the
executive suite to reap the rewards of managing a more complex business.  In
my operational management course a few years back, I read some research that
indicated the majority of mergers increase the power (and therefore the
compensation level) of the executive(s) while simultaneously destroying
shareholder value.

It doesn't make enough sense -- especially not $1.2B dollars worth of sense.
  And not when it makes you a (potential) competitor to one of your former

The first life for Palm was pretty good for a while, but the rest have been
pretty hideous.  I';ve seen nothing to suggest that they've turned it
around.   Most acquistions are not nearly the resounding successes that
their press releases make them out to be.

So far, only the lawyers and the bankers and the Palm Board has come away

RE: HP to buy Palm

[Sam Cayze]

Interesting there is so much negativity here about the relationship between HP 
and Palm on this list.

Almost all other communities are very ecstatic over the deal, and think that HP 
is a much better fit for Palm than Lenovo, HTC, and the other front runners.

The Palm users are pleased, and the develops are extremely pleased with what HP 
has already promised, so is Sprint (Palm biggest carrier partner).

Palm also sounds very optimistic.  And their CEO, the iPhone inventor guy, will 
also be keeping his job.  Sounds like everyone at Palm may be too.  Palm will 
just be a separate business operating unit at HP.

Palm is now on their 9th life, saved by HP.  Their last couple lives I was 
pretty certain they would fail...  I'm pretty optimistic this time around.  And 
many others feel the same way.

  If I wasn't already convinced Palm was dead, this would do it.

  But Palm has been an animated walking corpse of a company for years
now.  Astoundingly bad management at that company.  Shame, they were
quite innovative for a time, had a great product originally, and
practically invented the mainstream handheld computer market.  All
things shall pass, I guess.

  To me, this says more about HP.  I can't believe they spent a

No.

 

You'll see about as much of Palm in 5 years from HP as you see Compaq from
HP.

According to a story in my inbox this  morning, HP is buying Palm for $1.2
Billion (story here -- http://lm.pcworld.com/t/991080/39789109/76510/0/)
Just wondering if you guys think this will "save" Palm and help them regain
market share?

If you read through the news stories about this, HP is only interested in
the WebOS for their slate PCs in order to compete against the iPad.  They
are not immediately interested in the Palm hardware.

They'll use webOS, not PalmOS. IMHO.

When there was talk about Palm going up for sale a few weeks ago (G4 TV), they 
were predicting the buyer would ultimately be making the purchase to use Palm's 
O/S to try and compete with other high-end cell phones.

There are rumors that HP may use PalmOS for tablets.  Again, that would seem 
like a risky proposition to me.

Ok. Rephrase the question - do you think HP will do anything with the new 
version of the OS that Palm was developing or do you think they will go 100% 
with some other O/S for their PDA/Phones?

I'd really hate to see the PalmOS go away. I've got a couple Handspring
Visors and I thought that was a wonderful O/S for a PDA. J

I have no idea, but I was surprised.  Their lack of success, coupled
with Apple's threats to sue over multi-touch patents, would seem to make
it a risky purchase.
