I think Nokia would be a much better fit for Palm. Nokia are desperately lacking a next-generation smartphone platform, they have plenty of hardware experience, they have relatively little penetration in the US where the Palm brand could potentially help them gain marketshare, and the ability to use the strong Nokia brand in other markets would help sales of any Palm phones.
