Word on rumor street today is that HTC has taken a hard look at Palm and has decided to pass on an offer according to a new article on Reuters. A source close to the discussions reportedly remarked “There just weren’t enough synergies to take the deal forward.”
This development follows earlier reports from last week that Dell and Huawei also reached similar conclusions. However, the rumor report still leave the door open for Lenovo (or another Chinese mainland company), which kicked off the much of the recent Palm is for sale stories earlier this month. Palm nor Lenovo both declined to comment for the Reuters piece.
