>> If they were to acquire Palm, what would be the long term impact on the bottom line?

I'll leave that to one of the smart guys to answer, but I'm sure it would have a positive effect on my bottom line.

3Com announced spinoff today; if a sale were in the works, it would not have announced spinoff. That would mean a hostile takeover. I don't think Qcom would do that, especially since there is working arrangement with Palm.

I don't buy idea of Ericy jv on Palm. Big investment for only one platform.

Why would COMS announce the spin-off of Palm Pilot and IPO if they already had Q lined up as the buyer? IMO, this is not going to happen.
