I worked for HP till last year, though not in a mobile division.

They've been a loyal Microsoft shop for many years in both PCs and handhelds. This is a departure from that strategy but it is a continuation of the trend of buying instead of building when it comes to technology.

The head of Personal Systems, Todd Bradley, was CEO of PalmOne in 2005. Some things come around more than once.
