Palm to acquire HandspringI thought they were joking at first!
from cnet: "Palm said Wednesday that it will buy rival Handspring for approximately $169 million in an effort to strengthen its grip on the market for handheld devices."
Getting the Handspring team back at Palm is great news, and if you don't know the whole story about how Jeff Hawkins invented the PalmPilot, it's quite interesting. David Pogue has written an excellent book about it - Piloting Palm.
I got a Visor Prism while they were still popular, but became disillusioned after Handspring dropped the Springboard module. I've had Palms too, but the news hasn't really been exciting - until now |
