Palm, Inc. goes up for sale today. According to Bloomberg, "Palm, Inc., creator of the Pre smartphone, put itself up for sale and is seeking bids for the company as early as this week..."
It's really been a while since Palm has done much in the way of new or cutting edge design or functionality, and with the advent of the iPhone, and Blackberry and several other companies going into the smartphone market, Palm is yet another proof that no matter how well a company does, they still have to innovate and keep up with new challenges. Anybody in the market for an overpriced and fading smartphone company?
Of course, the person I feel most sorry for is the one that just bought a Palm device yesterday. "Doh! I have a $300.00 paperweight...awesome!"
