An interesting, and just possibly relevant side-light to the 3COM/Palm Computing/QCOM handset discussion. Went to monthly meeting of the Berkeley entrepreneur Forum (disclosure: am not a Berkeley MBA, but am member of BEF for about three years) last Thursday and speaker was Ed Colligan of Handspring. In case you have not heard of it, it is the new company formed by the founders of the Palm (of which Colligan is one) who left 3COM last year. He demonstrated their first product, which uses the Palm O/S (whihc they licensed from 3COM). Its basic unit is a Palm. However, it allows for various modules with additional applications to be clipped on. For example, one of the modules he showed was a clip-in phone, making the unit a PDQ. The base units are shipping now, will cost (eventually) under $100, and he said that about 100 companies are currently developing different modules. After his talk and went up and asked him if QCOM was working with them. He thought for a minute and then said that he could not answer the question (confidentiality). What could a Palm/Handset division hook up mean? I think it is interesting to contemplate.
