It doesn't do any good to worry about the number of shares. It can be completely arbitrary and the only thing that you know for sure is that for every share of COMS that you own, you will receive 1/345,000,000th of 80% of Palm. What's really important is that a lot of shareholder value is going to be unlocked. Palm alone will be a hot property and 3Com has a good chance of being acquired after the spinoff. I applaud this move on the part of 3Com management and have been buying the stock aggressively as a result. I think its about time that one of these huge IPO spinoffs goes where it belongs - directly to the shareholders of the parent company.
