So now they’re up for sale. > **[Palm For Sale: Rating 10 Potential Buyers](https://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2362508,00.asp)** > > Bloomberg reported Monday that Palm has gone on the market, and the buzz about potential buyers is burning up the Internet.

The OS itself might be decent but the phone is horrible IMO. I just hate the physical keyboard, it seems cheaply made, the little trackball is annoying and useless. ---
