[quote]HP has just announced that it's acquiring Palm to the tune of $1.2 billion, which works out to $5.70 per share of Palm common stock. The deal is planned to close by July 31, which marks the end of HP's third fiscal quarter of the year. Current Palm CEO Jon Rubinstein is "expected to remain with the company," though it's not said in what capacity. Press release after the break. There'll be a call to discuss the acquisition in more detail (well, we hope in more detail) at 5PM ET, so we'll keep you abreast as we learn more.

It's kind of odd seeing both Dell and HP in the smartphone market; I don't think they belong there either..more info soon, hopefully.

HP has something up their pal--sleeve anyway... might as well stay put.
[QUOTE=ifaux;21613809]No, HPalm. Facebook didn't purchase them[/QUOTE] The companies aren't merging, HP simply owns them now.
Palm weren't really going anywhere anyway.
[QUOTE=d3450;21614954]Palm weren't really going anywhere anyway.[/QUOTE] In addition to your grammar. I hope this move benefits Palm. I have a Pre and think it's one of the best phones out there. Imagine a Slate with WebOS. Oh yeah.
