There are a couple of questions surrounding Palm these days, such as will the company be sold, and if so, who's going to snatch it up? According to a recent Reuters report, Lenovo has replaced HTC as the front runner to scoop the struggling smartphone maker up.
Nokia, Motorola, and Research in Motion (RIM) have all also been mentioned as possible suitors, though if you talk to Palm CEO Jon Rubinsteign (and the Financial Times did), Palm can get by on its own.
"I believe Palm can survive as an independent company. We have a plan that gets us to profitability," Rubinstein said, adding that Palm is working "fast and furious on new handsets." Palm is also considering licensing its webOS to other manufacturers, Rubinstein said.
Naturally, Lenovo had no comment on any potential interest in acquiring Palm.
