I'm not very surprised. I always thought Palm was using WM as a bridge to move from Palm OS to their new platform, anyway. They had to sell "something" to fund development of WebOS and we all new that PalmOS was essentially dead. If Android had been an option 4 years ago, they probably would have never been a WM vendor to begin with.
It remains to be seen if Palm can make WebOS relevant. It certainly looks good, but Palm's short term decisions to release the device before the SDK and without memory expansion, severely limits the market. I think Rubenstein thinks they are going to be the next Apple, and I seriously doubt that will happen. They should be trying to fill the niche between Apple's closed system and Microsofts poor UI, limited usability solutions.
