While I would love to see a WM Treo, I'm not sure it's going to happen. If P1 had made the decision that WM was their future, I can't see why they would have given $30 million to PalmSource for the right to the PALM trademark. Heck they could have just bought the company for a few more million. ? |
Simple. They know their biggest asset is their brand, not the OS. This way they can sell a WM PALM. They could not do this with only 50% ownership of the brand name.
