Going Once, Going Twice: Palm Is Now Up For Sale

It was an unfortunate and inevitable fate for Palm, makers of the Palm Pre and Pixi, as well as the graphically pleasing webOS platform. Bloomberg has reported that Palm has partnered with Goldman Sachs and Qatalyst Partners to find partners, and interestingly HTC and Lenovo are interested — Dell said “meh”. But if HTC rally does buy Palm, could they nearly jump over the lawsuit they have with patent Apple? Palm was the maker of the “original smartphone”. That is to say they practically made the idea of a “do-everything” phone popular. Because of that, they have more patents than HTC could possibly imagine, or at least important software and hardware-related ones that could allow HTC to slip past by any of Apple’s offensives.

The Bloomberg also says that Lenovo might want to buy Palm, too, however most dibs are on HTC right now. As for the webOS platform, I have several reasons to think that it will not survive this buyout, and many features of it might simply get incorporated into Sense UI Android phones like the EVO 4G. In the meantime, only time can tell who buys Palm, Inc.

Lenovo’s new all-in-one multitouch C315 desktop

Yawwwn. If for some reason you’ve taken into your right mind you need a desktop instead of a laptop, but it needs multitouch for some reason, Lenovo has the C315 for $649 coming out in April, which should fit the bill. Not much to see here: 20-inch multitouch display, unspecified AMD Athlon dual-core processor, 4GB of RAM, ATI Mobility Radeon graphics (of some kind), and lots of pre-loaded apps for the multitouch. That’s all.

Yawn. [Via Business Wire]

Lenovo Ideapad U1 Hybrid: Part Laptop, Part Tablet

Introducing the 3.8-pound IdeaPad U1 Hybrid. It’s a 11.6-inch laptop with a retractable multitouch screen. Pretty catchy huh? It has a  CULV Intel Core 2 Duo processor and Windows 7 Home Premium. But here’s the really “hybrid” part: When you pull the tablet out of the laptop’s chassis, a Qualcomm Snapdragon comes to life, thus creating a multitouch slate with a 16GB SSD that runs Lenovo’s Skylight Linux interface. Dual processors, dual OSes, and dual functions? This is the hybrid of all hybrids, and it’s coming in June for $999.

“What were we supposed to do at CES again?

Lenovo buys back itself (technically) for $200 million

615px-Lenovo_Logo.svg

Lenovo bought back Lenovo Mobile for the tune of $200 million. As you might not know, Lenovo has a mobile division in China sells an Android-based handset.  In fact, Lenovo Mobile is the 3rd most popular handset maker in China. Hopefully with this purchase (re-purchase, whatever you want to call it) Lenovo will bring its handset over here;  Dell is already in the party with its Mini 3i (in China and soon Brazil), so why not the real Lenovo? We’ll just have to wait and see if Lenovo can sum up the courage to actually provide some handsets to the US.
