Sure WebOS looks nice and all, but there really is no real reason why would Nokia wanted to buy Palm. They already have Symbian now and Meamo for the future. The sad fact is that Palm is just too small to be able to compete with their own platform and by beeing tied to Sprint doesn't help them either - worldwide CDMA is not important and in GSM "World" Palm doesn't really mean anything. They will just fade away... Even if someone buys them it's either going to be the same story as with Palm Source and Access - a small company buying another small company and after some years the result is nothing, or maybe something like Microsoft buying Danger - big company buying small one and the small with it's technology gets lost in "the crowd".
