Ending weeks of speculation about its future, Palm has been acquired by Hewlett-Packard for $1.2 billion.

As such, it appears that Palm’s mobile operating system — webOS — has lived to fight another day, with Palm CEO Jon Rubinstein saying in a statement that “HP’s longstanding culture of innovation, scale and global operating resources make it the perfect partner to rapidly accelerate the growth of webOS.”

The survival of webOS and its parent company had come under question in recent weeks, with some analysts suggesting that shares of Palm were essentially worthless. Things only got worse when RadioShack decided to stop selling Palm’s two flagship devices: Pre and Pixi.

Ok so what does this have to do with Dating? There are a few dating sites like match.com that have developed applications for the Palm app store and while I would have assumed this was a total waste maybe there will be some saving grace in the time and money that was spent on development?

Will HP kill the brand off and incorporate their existing technology into their own devices or will Palm go on? Let us know your thoughts?

The Classified Intelligence Report also finds that Craigslist stands to take home anywhere from $88 to $99 million in profit, which means the company could see nearly 80% of revenue as profits.
