Palm Economy? This is the one chance when our Benhamou can get his Nobel prize in economics. In what sounded more like a manifesto than a developers' briefing, Benhamou said that ''in the process we are creating a new economy, we are creating the Palm Economy.'' He said that over the next decade, the company expects to go from 200 million users to a cool billion-''the first 200 million used Wintel machines, the next 800 million will not.'' dailynews.yahoo.com

3Com in talks to acquire EuPhonics, sources say LOS ANGELES, Dec 2 (Reuters) - Computer equipment maker 3Com Corp. (Nasdaq:COMS - news) is in talks to acquire audio software maker EuPhonics Inc. in a move to expand 3Com's operations into sound technology, sources close to 3Com said on Wednesday. The deal, which could be finalized as early as Friday, calls for 3Com to pay about $8.3 million in cash for all of the Boulder, Colo.-based company's stock plus assumption of stock options and other costs. EuPhonics is considered a leading company in the United States providing audio software that is used in high-tech microchips, computer soundcards and consumer electronics. By acquiring the company, Santa Clara, Calif.-based 3Com hopes to merge EuPhonics' technology with its own expertise in computer modems and network equipment to create a new line of sound products for communications and audio-streaming products, sources said. EuPhonics employs about 14 people and has been operating since 1987. 3Com, by contrast, is one of the computer modem and networking arena's largest players with more than 200 million customers worldwide and quarterly sales of about $1.4 billion. Officials at 3Com declined to comment for this story. 3Com stock ended trading on Wednesday unchanged at $42.88 on the Nasdaq stock market.
