We already reported earlier that the company Palm put up for sale. However, the most likely buyer was the company Lenovo. All the more surprising is today's news that Palm bought HP.
The deal amounted to 1.2 billion US dollars. It is scheduled to be completed by July 31st. Wherein, HP declared that she was not going to arrange global changes in Palm. Jon Rubinstein will still be at the helm, the company will still produce smartphones and improve webOS. Moreover, there are opinions that HP made this deal precisely because of this promising operating system. There are already rumors that we will soon be able to see a tablet computer running webOS.
Рубинштейн уже выступил с официальным заявлением, отметив, что состоявшаяся сделка — «огромный шаг вперед» для Palm. With financial influence HP, the company will be able not only to survive, but also to completely transform, having made a huge leap forward.
HP no longer new to the smartphone market. The company has a small line of these devices aimed at the business sector. All of them work under the control of the beginning to lose their positions Windows Mobile (Windows Phone). One-of-a-kind smartphones Palm help the company to gain a foothold in this market.
