Apple in discussions to buy PalmOne? Brilliant!

Wow if this does happen it would be AMAZING. I've had my Treo 650 for about 3 weeks now and I just keep thinking how much more amazing this convergence gadget would be if Apple owned it. I can just see that a segment of the MP3 market would really want a convergence with their mobiles- just so they don't have to carry 2 or 3 gadgets all the time. Cellphone, MP3 player, PDA (and semi-camera)

Go Apple! Go Steve! I hope they push through with this one! This would be a real coup!

Edit: Ha ha, apparently I didn't see the dateline: April 1. It's still would be a great move on Apple's part though.

Especially since the source of the rumor is a guy who calls himself "Juan Abril"! In any case, if indeed it is true then the wheel has turned. If I remember correctly, Jeff Hawkins, the founder of Palm, was once an employee of Apple. I may be wrong but Donna Dubinsky was definitely an employee at Apple.

This will be a bad joke if not!! Im planning to get a 650 soon so if this will be pushing I'll rather wait then!!!
