- cpeterso 15y ago"Many" companies were rumored to be interested in buying Palm's patents. I don't know why HP didn't sell the Palm patents. I'm curious to see what the webOS open source license will have to say about the use of Palm patents.

- nl 15y agoWebOS isn't worth anything. Yet another platform with little adoption. Meebo has no adoption by hardware manufactures and it is free. The Palm patent portfolio is worth a lot, but I doubt HP is interested in selling it.
