On the heels of a rumored Dell smartphone flop, ComputerWorld is putting forth speculation that Dell may actually buy Palm. They have no real inside information, but they say that according to three analysts "an acquisition would make sense for both companies." Would it?
The most obvious reason for Dell to purchase Palm is so they could make a jump into the smartphone market.
Financial strategy consultant Sramana Mitra also recently made the case that Palm needs to take on Apple Inc. "Palm cannot take on Apple on its own, and a Palm-Dell union would change the equation dramatically," she wrote on the financial news site Seeking Alpha.
