This is just rumour and speculation — but it’s one of those delicious what-ifs that keep the geeks chatting long into the night.
Speculation that Palm will be scooped up by a well-capitalized tech company has intensified since the well-received release of the Palm Pre and the company’s new operating system, webOS. While most of the commentary has centered around Dell possibly acquiring Palm, recent speculation pegs Microsoft as a potential suitor.

What d’ya reckon?
It’d be an interesting shot-in-the-arm for Palm, that’s for sure.
Microsoft considering a takeover of Palm? http://bit.ly/W041J – Would be a sensible step for the Borg i guess.. would be a shame too though!

Now *that* would be a quick way to kill off the 'cool factor' of the Pre.
Don't do it Microsoft! Please!
It would also give Palm a good amount of cash to do some interesting (if 'Microsoft-restricted') stuff, though. It'd keep'em as a player.

Can't see MSFT buying Palm. Windows Mobile 6.5 is a whole division full of egos, and the hardware mfrs would go ape.
What about Danger?
