The big news breaks and it was irresistible for me to keep away from not posting it. HP is set to purchase the smartphone manufacturer, Palm for $1.2 billion. A good news for all its fans after the manufacturer has taken one hit after another over time.
The fight will continue to strive to make the Palm OS survive the challenges put forth by the likes of Apple, Android, Nokia’s Symbian and the Windows Mobile, which have evolved rapidly with time. Palm’s webOS has not quite been able to surface high in the ranks and has continued to take a hit over time. HP on the other hand would add power in terms of its massive presence in the industry and bulk of finances to promote and more importantly improve of what remains of the Palm. Palm on the other hand would provide HP the right ingredients to invest in its mobile strategy, building on Palm’s unique OS.

Looks like that Palm Pre release is all set to make a head on collision with Apple’s iPhone 3.0 release at the WWDC in June. Palm Pre would be make an entry into the smartphone lineup on June 6, two days prior Apple’s prime event and the people behind Palm are preparing to meet massive demands. Reports state that they are already stocking the device in bulk at Wal-Mart, Sprint stores, etc. he Well we have heard quite a lot about the new palm coming cheap and it will be interesting to see how the new palm fares in its competition with the iPhone. Anyone ready to buy Palm Pre instead of the iPhone 3.0?
