Palm Announces Separated Software Operations

Posted by timothy on from the wish-they'd-license-be-through-palm dept.

Eharley writes: "'Palm on Monday announced it has completed the split of its operating system division from the rest of the company. The software unit will now report separately on the financial performance of its licensing business, and could eventually be spun off or sold by Palm.' Yahoo is carrying the story here. Considering that their market share in PDA devices has been slipping, is this a move that will signal the end of the Palm hardware line or organizers?"

    Not so funny, MS does not make the PC hardware (Ok, a couple of peripherals) It would have been funny if you had used Apple instead. That would be unbelievable...
