After reading the article, I found out some interesting information regarding Apple, Palm and Handspring financials, which would make any deals possible.
Apple - $6.8 Billion Market Cap, $4.3 Billion Cash
Palm - $2.2 Billion Market Cap, $321 Million Cash
Handspring - $713 Million Market Cap, $77 Million Cash
Basically what the figures show is that any merger between Palm and Handspring would create a company with a market cap of no more than $3 billion. With that in mind, Apple COULD theoretically issue a stock swap or purchase the newly formed PalmSpring (or HandPalm !! 🙂 ) with cash assets. Interests piqued?
