Talkin’ Palm – Week ending 13 Mar 10

Palm ended with week with momentum on the app and developer side of things (especially game developer). As for the stock, things are still grim. So let’s start with PALM news to get that out of the way.

CNBC – Jim Goldman: "Goldman wrote about the possibility of Palm being brought under Motorola’s wing:

"…Don’t get me wrong, I’m not suggesting that a Palm/Motorola tie-up would mount any kind of meaningful challenge to Apple and RIM."

"… But with strength in numbers and critical mass so important in the smart phone arena today, a Palm/Motorola team could at least get decidedly larger crumbs than the two separately are scrounging for today. Palm would do well with Motorola’s marketing muscle behind it, and Motorola’s Sanjay Jha could turn Palm into an operational contender rather than the stumbling wannabe it has been. Palm’s conference call in a couple of weeks when the company reports earnings should be an interesting event indeed."

Seems like there’s somebody suggesting Palm get purchased nearly every day. Still doesn’t make sense to us, though.

Let’s Talk Palm!
