Should Dell Buy Palm?

Palm is more a Microsoft buy. MS needs desperately to have a winning solution in the handset space. Their mobile OS is loosing and will continue to loose to Apple and Googles offering. MS has more to gain than Dell. For that matter, HP needs to enter the space as well. No doubt, Palm is being peddled to all of these high tech giants and thats clearly the reason Palm's SP is moving higher.

Palm's Pre Goes a Step Further Than the iPhone

I look for Palm to be bought out by HP, Dell or MS. This has to be their only hope and they have a good chance. Buying Palm now could earn you a handsome return when the purchase is announced.

Research In Motion's 3G Counteroffensive: The Smartphone Arms Race Escalates

Wow... Thanks for the chart. This chart clearly shows that Apple was taking share from Palm and stalled RIMMs advance. What's not shown is after the 3G launch which will clearly show that Apple is now taking market share from all smart phone OEMs including RIMM.

However, one could tell Apple has captured a significant portion of the smart phone market by its SP performance. This is all shaping up to become a short for RIMM and a long play for Apple. By Christmas, RIMM will be punch drunk from Apple's reported sells and the analyst will have to take notice of the iphones contribution to Apples top and bottom line.

Big money was betting on RIMM and they have clearly choosen the wrong race horse. These low tech investment gurus have provided a great opportunity for small investors to benefit from Apples rise to mobile phone prominence. RIMM should go down by 1Q09. Nokia will take some time--perhaps another year. Motorola is dead in the water and neither are prepared for the next iphone platform that will catapult Apple market share of all mobiles above 10%. These are great times for the retail investor. Big money will not be able to ignor a 12 million plus 4Q08 iphone 3g sales.
