Is Dell Buying Palm?


By now you know that Dell stopped selling it’s Axim line of handhelds, and they’ve been suspiciously quiet about any further moves.  But rumors are ripe about Dell selling a smartphone product possibly by purchasing Palm Inc.

According to analyst Jack Gold, "The PDA is dead.  Long live the smartphone, " he said in an interview.  The demise of pocket pcs is surely no surprise, as consumers are turning to smartphones and pocket pc phones.  Instead of reinventing the wheel, Dell could go back to HTC and have them make another line for them, but that is a problem as HTC now makes their own brand of phones, or Dell could just scoop up Palm.  Makes sense, doesn’t it?

In one word… er… No.

No

No No No No No

No

If Dell wanted to play in the smartphone market they’d just comision HTC to roll one of the production line and stick a Dell logo on it. Why go though the effort and pain of merging management structure and liabilities.. not to mention the support costs, when all you’d have to do is place an order with HTC?

In other words

No!
