"You ever see 24 Hour Party People? You know the scene at the end where they're playing Happy Mondays' Hallelujah and Tony Wilson is standing over The Hacienda and he's like, ‘well, it's all over — we have to shut down. Take the turntables, take the barstools, let a thousand Haciendas bloom'? Well, that's what this is like. It's that there are still people there, but a lot of people left, and they're bringing the spirit with them. A thousand webOSes will bloom, I hope."

"PC guys are not going to just figure this out. They're not going to just walk in," he famously quipped in 2006, believing that Palm had amassed enough experience and expertise to put it years ahead of a rumored Apple phone.

It quickly became evident, though, that HP's financiers (up to and including CFO Cathie Lesjak) didn't share Hurd's enthusiasm. At that time, Apple was almost singlehandedly dominating the smartphone supply chain and it took an enormous commitment — the kind of commitment that only a giant like HP could offer — to tip the scale.

It's easy to look back at Palm's story arc from 1992 to 2012 and feel a sense of loss and sadness — this was a company that pioneered PDAs, popularized smartphones, and developed a revolutionary new platform on limited resources with an extraordinary concentration of industry talent before meeting its demise at the hands of HP.

Thirty-one. That’s the number of months it took Palm, Inc. to go from the darling of International CES 2009 to a mere shadow of itself, a nearly anonymous division inside the HP machine without a hardware program and without the confidence of its owners. Thirty-one months is just barely longer than a typical American mobile phone contract.
