A bunch of readers have let us know that Palm’s stock is jumping up right now – as of this writing it’s up 15% over yesterday’s close.
The reason? More takeover chatter which appears to stem from a report from Next Inning Technology Research, who put out a newsletter suggesting that RIM would be a good candidate to acquire Palm.
Update: as Phantom_Pain notes in the comments, the bigger rumor might be Lenovo. You may recall that they purchased the ThinkPad Laptop division from IBM and did a pretty good job with it after the acquisition. Lenovo could potentially be more interesting than the earlier contenders – but then again they are also looking fairly focused on Android right now.
Of course, we’re still down on the RIM prospect, original reasons why after the break.
