I know, picky. :roll:
I think this may have been raised in a 'weekend' item a few months back. In The UK people tend to think of companies as the sum of their employees and therefore refer to them in the plural (hence 'are' Palm) whereas in the US companies are regarded, and referred to, as single entities (hence 'is' Palm). I'm English: I acknowledge the logical correctness of the US position, but I will probably always stick to the English usage.
