Apple to Take a Bite at Palm - The Rumours Resurface

From Personal Computer World:

Speculation that Apple plans to buy handheld maker Palm has been revived by a
call from two leading Palm investors for the company to be put up for sale,
according to the local paper of both companies.

Mike Nelson, who owns eight per cent of Palm shares, argued that the company is poorly equipped to dominate the market for smartphones which are beginning to eat into sales of traditional PDAs, reports Siliconvalley.com , online edition of the San Jose Mercury.

Another shareholder, with five per cent of Palm shares, also urged a sale of the company late last year.

Not long ago there were rumours that Apple and Palm would become one, but those eventually died down. Once again, however, those rumours are milling about - albeit not in thte spotlight.

Could it actually be that we will eventually see the successor of the Apple Newton?
