Palm is supposed to announce at 5pm PST that the company has sold to HP (my guess) for $1.2 Billion.
I have an old Palm Pilot but their phones have never interested me.

I had the first Palm in NZ, a Palm 1000 (the 128k version). I got into ttreo's early too, having had the 180, 270, 500 (?), 600, and 650. I still use my 650, and it does several things and iphone can't (thanks to apples anal lockdown on apps they don't like).
The writing has been on the wall for palm for the last few years, android and blackberry have hurt them badly.

You shouldnt have said that. SketchBook Pro is the only thing I find appealing about the iPad. If the Autocad for Mac is transportable enough (ever) to make it onto iPad its an easy sell.
EDIT: WHOA! Skuzzy why did you do that? :D

I just thought it was a bit TMI. The Wife is a private person.

My first PDA was a Handspring Prism.
I liked it so much, I bought stock in Handspring.
Handspring went under and was bought by Palm.
When my Prism got crushed, I replaced it with a Palm T|X.
Love that thing.. Doesn't have the spiffy apps like my iTouch, but the OS, address book, calendar, and user interface are excellent.
Now Palm has been bought by HP. ( Glad I didn't dump my stock when the first Wall St. Analyst said target price per share should be $0. )
So.. 2 companies I have invested in have been bought out.
Suppose I could get Warren Buffet to pay me a couple million to NOT buy into Berkshire Hathaway?
