Comments on: Palm Buying Mobile Infrastructure Developer

Palm, Inc. has agreed to buy Extended Systems Inc., a company that produces software and systems tp hook mobile workers into corporate networks, allowing them access company databases and files, use network resources such as printers, and synchronise their contact and agenda data. They also develop Bluetooth- and Infrared-enabling software to let mobile devices communicate with corporate systems.

This deal will make Palm a company that can sell both handhelds and Enterprise-level infrastructure software. Their comprehensive, behind-the-firewall solution supports groupware and business applications -- improving overall organizational productivity and controlling costs.

Let's hope so. That's where the real money is, not with us consumers.
