Facebook Needs Palm WebOS?
Kevin Tofel puts forth an interesting idea: that of Facebook being a potential buyer of Palm, Inc. Exactly why would Facebook, a non-handset maker, want to do that? One reason, Tofel explains, is that the WebOS Synergy feature already integrates Facebook contacts into Palm phones. But then, Apple’s iPhone OS 4.0 hints at the same sort of possibility, plus additional benefits gleaned from recent Apple patents. Don’t forget the fact that there are also more Apple phones out there than Palm phones. Then again, if a search engine (Google, who seems to be anything but these days) can have their own Mobile OS and phone, why not Facebook, who is challenging Google online in a number of ways? It just might be something of value to both companies.
