Palm works with Goldman Sachs to grabs three big camps

Palm is working with Goldman Sachs and Qatalyst partners to find buyers, grabs, who will become Palm's buyer? One camp is the traditional handset makers: Motorola, Nokia, Samsung and HTC are all considered potential buyers of palm, while the other is traditional PC makers, such as Lenovo and Dell ——— computers are becoming smaller and bigger, and mobile internet trends are unstoppable.　　Acquiring Palm to do its own mobile market layout looks like a good way to striking.　　Huawei ZTE, a domestic equipment maker, is also thought to be buying palm, especially Huawei, with more than 20 billion cash flows.　　If Palm is sold, the buyer needs to pay more than 1 billion dollars, the buyer will have to pay about 30% of the premium during the transaction, in addition, all buyers are facing higher integration costs.　　The US it magazine's personal computer named Nokia and HTC as the best buyers, with Lenovo and Dell listed as medium buyers, while Apple, Huawei and ZTE were considered unsuitable buyers. MOTO, Nokia, HTC: Rival potential buyers Motorola contacted chief executive Sanjay once bet on Google's Android operating system in the hope of using Android to let Motorola's mobile business turn ——— but Google released its own-brand mobile phone Nexus this January,　　How does Motorola respond? Motorola wants to have its own operating system, and acquiring palm should be a good choice. "Palm has very good operating system webOS. In addition, Palm's management team includes Apple executives Joen Rubinstein.　　"Some analysts believe that after the acquisition of Palm, the Palm team should be responsible for the software, Motorola is responsible for the technical and hardware business." Jesup &lamont, an investment bank analyst Kevin Daidwolf, said the acquisition of Palm would help increase the buyer's product line. Motorola and Nokia now face serious challenges in the mobile phone market. If you buy palm, they will have a very outstanding platform.　　So far, Motorola and Nokia spokesmen have not commented on the acquisition.　　Patentvest CEO Mazzalera, the patent consultancy, points out that Samsung has used more patents than any other company, followed by Nokia, and that "Samsung and Nokia are certainly very interested in palm patents". But Nokia and Samsung are not buying palm, and Nokia is revamping its operating system, Symbian, unless it buys palm at a very low price, and Samsung is similar to Nokia,　　Samsung is developing its own smartphone platform Bada. HTC is the most powerful competitor in handset makers. HTC is mainly engaged in Microsoft Windows and Google Android touchScreen smart phone manufacturing. It is rumored that HTC CEO Peter Chou has privately contacted Palm's top brass and sincere in good faith.　　HTC, which buys Palm, will have its own operating system and App Store, and, above all, HTC will have a big advantage in mobile-phone patents.　　Dell, Lenovo: The acquisition of Palm can realize the mobile interconnection dream for Lenovo, since the original can "snake Swallow Elephant", IBM's PC business acquisition and integration, so as to enter the global PC Forefront, then in the mobile phone market, the acquisition of Palm in the forefront of smartphone manufacturers is not impossible.　　For Lenovo, mobile Internet is very important ——— notebook sales have surpassed the desktop, Lenovo is the most valued high-end smartphones, smart netbooks and tablet computer market. This January, Lenovo took out 200 million dollars to buy back the Lenovo Mobile communications technology company, back to the mobile phone market.　　Lenovo CEO Yang said mobile internet products will account for 70% to 80% of Lenovo's sales over the next 3-5 years. But Lenovo's difficulties are clear, and Lenovo's chairman, Liu, admits that in the mobile-Internet arena, many powerful companies have been cutting into and forming huge potential energy, such as apples and blackberries.　　Especially in the global market, Lenovo to make a difference, the price to pay is not small.　　Acquiring Palm and acquiring a high-end smartphone market is much more cost-effective than Lenovo brick and self-reliance. Dell's commitment to the mobile market has also been strong among traditional PC makers, and Dell has launched its own-brand handsets this year.　　And as a Home-grown company, Dell has a natural advantage in acquiring palm for its own mobile market layout, whether integrated or marketed.　　However, it was reported that, although Dell was concerned about palm, but ultimately decided not to participate in the bid. Huawei ZTE: Via Palm's North American market in North America is too hard to chew.　　Huawei ZTE is believed to be a potential buyer for the past two years, where North American companies have been willing to sell (for example, Nortel). "Palm is attractive to many Asian companies because they can enter the U.S. market by acquiring palm."　　"That's what investment bankers say. And last week, senior vice president of Huawei, Charlie Chen, took the industry's guess. "We see tremendous potential and growth prospects in our mobile phone business," says Charlie Chen. The company will not let go of any chance of expanding North American business. Chen is responsible for the marketing and product management of Huawei's North American business. Huawei is already selling smartphone devices in markets such as the UK, and its products are operating on Android, which Google has developed. But most of Huawei's handset products are still in the low-end, the main volume. "The company pursues a policy of not commenting on rumours about mergers and acquisitions, and Huawei has been open to opportunities to improve its business," Huawei said in a statement. Francisco Jes, IDC analyst at market research firm"Huawei and ZTE are potential buyers of palm, they do not have their own operating systems and brands, but they have the capital to buy and build brands and have the advantage of low manufacturing costs," Lonimo said. Consumers will not link Chinese brands to high-quality products, and will not buy Chinese manufacturers ' handsets at high prices. Palm meets Huawei and ZTE's needs.
