If Motorola Buys Palm
This makes perfect sense to me for the following reasons:
1. Palm has been developing on an open platform with Access and so has Motorola with their latest line of open sourced smartphones such as the Motorola Ming A1200.
2. Palm’s success has been mostly due to the Treo handheld, a platinum award winning phone. They’ve canned their other devices such as the Lifedrive in Asia. They need a refocus in terms of manufacturing strategy and it takes a fierce competitor like Motorola to give them back this break. Motorola has been rather fierce in several world markets with campaigns stretching out to the really creative.
3. Motorola makes sleek handhelds with crappy operating systems. And yet they still end up becoming a market leader in the consumer division. Think of the benefits if they are able to integrate the Palm OS on a KRZR-like device for instance? You will have a good mesh between style and function, something that Palm was known to capitalize on in the past but couldn’t do so now due to the many times they have refocused and rebranded.

So all’s well that ends well. I just have one request if the buyout pushes through. Please, don’t change Palm’s name again. Please?
