A few days ago I posted that HP had purchased Palm, leading me to believe that they saw a future in the Palm Pre phone giving competition to the iPhone. Indeed, the Pre does perform well. It even multi-tasks out of the box.
But the link above helps identify HP’s motives in buying Palm.
It will be interesting to see how Palm’s WebOS works on a slate PC.
