According to Fulcrum's Saunders, Access's steep bid for PalmSource was driven as much by competing offers as it was by the value of the assets. Several well-known companies were also interested in PalmSource, he says, though company officials declined to name names.

"We think the bid was competitively shopped around and Access likes them for the installed based of Palm users," says Saunders, "as well as its market-leading personal information management functionality and the Linux operating system it's developing." Currently, the Palm OS powers more than 39 million mobile devices.
I wonder who else was bidding. For all we know, it may be the only buyer that will help PalmOS to continue and succeed. I hope it does!
