Re: Apple to Buy Palm? for many of us, that would be a match made in digital heaven. sure, some people think palm is dead, but how come so many of us love the OS? because it's still the easiest to use, like the mac OS itself. a blend of the two would be perfect, and i wouldn't mind shelling out (after saving up) 50K for an apple smartphone, finally.

Re: Apple to Buy Palm? this is good news indeed. Palm will definitely be rejuvenated with Apple's innovative approach.

Re: Apple to Buy Palm? Now I wouldn't mind this happening. Talk about synergy. Hey an iPod-Palm Pilot hybrid would be perfect for my needs.

Re: Apple to Buy Palm? I've been wishing this for the longest time. Jeff and Donna could really use some of that Steve and Johnny magic.

Re: Apple to Buy Palm? It's interesting to read further that Uncle Steve's first acts when he returned to Apple in '96 was to kill the Newton which was the precursor to the Palm Pilot.
But thinking back. I think he (Steve) just wanted to get back at Sculley (who fired him) since the Newton is the brainchild of Sculley.
