Microsoft, 3Com Settle Product Name
Dispute

Dow Jones Newswires

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) and
3Com Corp. (COMS) agreed to settle a dispute over the
naming of palm-size devices that Microsoft referred to as
"Palm PCs."

In a press release Wednesday, 3Com said Microsoft agreed
to refer to the devices as "Palm-size PCs" and to discontinue
using the term "Palm PC."

3Com's Palm Computing Inc. unit manufactures the Palm
III connected organizers and Microsoft recently began
licensing its Windows CE operating system for use in the
devices.

Under the agreement, existing inventories of initial devices
that use the current term may be sold until software and
devices with the new descriptor are available later this year.

3Com provides data, voice, video communications and
networking services.
