palmOne Acquires Rights to Palm Brand & Name

LOL!!!

I saw in the Left Behind Series I think. Must be real!

Obviously, the focus has changed or they would not give away their 2nd most valuable asset, the logo.

Oh, the first most valuable is the proprietary clipboard limit.

Et tu, Pat? Vicious.

By the way, Palm never really "split". It was all a sham designed to be a last ditch grab for stock millions. And it worked.

Press release: CUPERTINO, California — February 11, 2005 — Apple® announced today that Steve Jobs will begin selling his own feces to Apple Cultists beginning March 1. Apple's new iPoo™ lineup is expected to easily surpass the iPod shuffle as the company's most popular product. Yes, Apple Cultists can already easily create their own iPoo™, but feces didn't seem cool until Jobs told them it was cool. Remember, kids: the ONLY cool feces is Jobs' highly individualistic, rebellious iPoo™ (coming soon in six different colors/flavors, including the red [hematochezia] and black [melena] U2 GI bleed model)

Say hello to my little friend...

That's just dumb. I work on Wall St. If what you say was true, the financial analysts that follow tech would have modeled the scenario out, and palmsource's stock would be priced accordingly. In other words, at any given moment the stock price of palmsource represents the considered opinion of hundreds of people far more intelligent and skilled than you. Of course, if you *really* think you're the smartest guy in the room, sell your house, short the stock, and make millions. Otherwise, shut up. :)

I am happy to see that someone gets this. I can't believe anyone bought that whole silly separation deal.

Wow, Timothy. Only two of us are on record for stating the "SPLIT" was really just B*LLSH*T. When this all plays out watch dozens of people step forward and claim they felt the split was bogus all along... I'd be interested to see pundits like Kent Pribbernow, Gekko, Surur, Mike Cane etc GO ON RECORD NOW as to whether or not the reported "split" was genuine.

Thanks for the advice, Bubba. You just made me a TON of money! [TVoR counts their money made by shorting 100,000 shares of Palmsource last month...]

By the way, if you think PPC defines "antediluvian", what is PalmOS? From the Cretaceous Period*?

(* To clarify for the Creationists - like Dr Opinion probably is - that would be the last portion of the "Age of Dinosaurs".)

Pretty simple, eh. Just put your $$$ where your post is. :-)

But, I'm not so sure "Wall Street Consensus" = Truth either. Can you say Boston Chicken & eToys etc, etc, etc, etc. Kinda like Newsweek, CBS & CNN concensus calling the Drudge Report "inaccurate" and unreliable. It may be concensus of the "gods", but it helped not when Bush's N.G. record and the flushed Koran arrived. In rememberance of October 19th, 1987. :-o

Wall Street has shown repeatedly that the Herd Mentality reigns supreme there. While the Palm Sham Split was well orchestrated, it's still pretty obvious that it was all a fake. The great pains Palm took in pointing out that they were "LEGALLY" two "completely seperate companies" was hilarious. I wonder why Palm absolved PalmSource of any potential blame should it lose the lawsuit brought against it by Xerox? Hmmmmmm.....

For those keeping score ay home, almost ALL of TVoR's predictions about Palm over the past 5 years have come true. [TVoR pats themself on the back again.]

So is that how you do that little number of two posts at the exact same second? I kind thought you were just "opening a new window" and it kept the same time stamp.

Or maybe you are doing the Gollum thing again. Dude, get some help soon.

What's that, Precious? My Precious twrock.

You mean "I wish Apple would buy Palmsource"

Surur

>>> I predict that Apple will buy Palmsource sometime later this year. <<<

Yea and Bin Laden will become President of the US at the same time!

The only thing Apple could possibly want from PalmSource is its knowledge of an intergrating an OS with cellular radio.

But considering that:
a) Apple still holds onto the Newton PDA OS which it could ressurect any time it wants to. (Part of it appears to be in Inkwell, the handwriting recognition system built into Mac OS X).
b) Apple has collaborated with Motorola to make the iTunes phone, and has collaborated with Motorola for the past twenty years. Therefore Apple can always ask Motorola for cellular help.

...then there is NOTHING, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING PalmSource has to offer Apple.

I predict that Apple will buy Palmsource sometime later this year.

Result: BeOS FINALLY arrives on Macs as MacOS 11. Yeah. Riiiight.

TwinTurbo @ 5/24/2005 2:28:58 PM

Why would Apple buy PalmSource when they could just hire the handful of engineers that are responsible for writing the OS code. Based on the lack of new developments in this area, I'm guessing there are not many of these folks left. Other than that, the rest of the company is basically worthless. They are not even going to own the Palm brand name anymore.

Did you mean to say engineers (plural)? I think PalmSource is down to one part time engineer maintaining the OS these days. He works one day a week and suppliments his salary by cleaning the PalmSource offices and washing Pépé Gassée's cars...

Who do you think is President now?
