Hi WLD, Let's see what the AP news said: SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) - Palm Inc. (NasdaqNM:PALM - news) has made new licensing deals with major chip makers, a move it hopes will expand the Palm operating system into all kinds of mobile devices from handhelds to cell phones and perhaps even wristwatches. ...... The move would make it easier for developers to create powerful and smarter applications for Palm OS-based mobile gadgets. The chips in the devices would essentially be Palm OS-ready. ``This whole deal will hopefully help developers build that next stage of applications that will intrigue new markets for handheld devices,'' said Kevin Burden, an industry analyst with market research firm International Data Corp. ..... Palm, struggling at the moment with the slowing economy, hopes the silicon partnerships will build its OS-licensee list, which already includes Handspring Inc. (NasdaqNM:HAND - news) and Sony Corp. (NYSE:SNE - news) ..... It seems to me that there may be some sub-licensing flexibilities in these deals. If not, these deals look rather stupid. At this stage, Palm can't afford making stupid moves. Regards, Khan
