If we can keep this civil, this would make for a hell of a great discussion.
On topic, I personally have to agree with Traecer Prime. While don't have all of the details that he does, from a business perspective, it always concerned me in terms of fair play the licensing issues surrounding Palm when they made everything as well as competed with everyone. Just seemed bad for business.
Now, assuming they can make some good business moves (both PalmOne and PalmSource) they should both be able to get out from under the technology sector funk that has currently enshrouded everyone.
The issue of why they didn't split sooner than what they did, I also seem to remember the same issue that TP brought up in his post above. There were/are rules or laws that applied to Palm at the time that would significantly adversely affect the customers/shareholders. Not a good thing. As best they could, I feel that Palm was looking out for their customers AND their shareholders. That is the right mightset to have for a company.
