Palm shares hit 52-week high ahead of Mobile World Congress

NEW YORK (AP) -- Shares of Palm Inc. jumped to a 52-week high Thursday ahead of the Mobile World Congress trade show, which kicks off Feb. 16 in Barcelona, Spain.

Sunnyvale, Calif.-based Palm has seen its stock price soar this year ahead of the launch of the Pre, an iPhone and BlackBerry competitor, and a new operating system. The company will present at the trade show next week.

Lawrence M. Harris, an analyst with CL King & Associates, said in a client note Thursday the company's stock gained because of reported delays of two new smart phones from Samsung based on Google's Android operating system.

The U.K.'s Guardian cited a Samsung marketing executive who said there will be "no Android phone at the show."

But a Samsung representative said the company is on track with its original schedule to launch phones with Android, and launching at the Mobile World Congress show "was not a part of the plan."

Palm's shares surged 95 cents, or 11.8 percent, to $8.98. The day's high of $9.28 was a new 52-week high.
