Let's hope they do amazing things with Palm

HP”s purchase of  Palm indicates the battle lines in upcoming smart phone mobile are drawn:

Apple has a big early lead with consumers, but is closed. Google is open and committed to subsidizing Android OS and anyone willing to build on it until they win. Blackberry has a huge lead in the corporate world, but is crippled by its inability to move to new paradigms. Now, HP with its vast physical retail distribution, powerful consumer & corporate brand and its recent acquisition of Palm and the Palm OS) is moving into the fray. Oh yeah, Microsoft is also out there somewhere, maybe planning a surprise attack?

This will be a battle to watch. The question is who do you think  is going to win?
