@Queshun, other than the patents I'm not quite sure what the point of this would be. It's a device completely based on WebKit something Microsoft hasn't adapted for it's own mobile OS. they would probably be the worst fit for keeping Palm alive even though they could support it financially. Really any company with a competing OS would have other motives.
@Queshun Microsoft does not buy hardware companies. M$ is a software company. Even if they do, it will only remain as Palm and not integrated into Microsoft as a hardware division. All their hardwares are done by external companies; the likes of Zune, xBox etc. Microsoft is strictly software. HTC is the best fit but I doubt they'll allow a Taiwanese company buy over another american company at this time again.
While its tablet world topping pixel density, Tegra 2 silicon, and fresh to death OS certainly sound awesome, we had to get our grubby mitts on one to see if it's as good as its spec sheet would have us believe.
