“HTC May Buy Palm to Fight Apple”
However, the most interesting bidder is HTC by far. The reason: HTC may find in Palm the patent portfolio it needs to battle Apple’s lawsuit.
Wouldn’t it be funny if Palm and webOS ended up being rescued solely because of the sudden aggressivity of Apple’s lawyers? (Remember that webOS was developed by renegade Cupertino engineers.)
On the flip side, this is exactly what webOS needs: good phones. HTC knows how to make pretty hardware, and they’ve shown that they have no qualms about offering phones running every operating system they can get their hands on.
That may just be the one and only possibility for webOS to get a second chance, an opportunity to show what it’s capable of on the market. Please make it so.
