infoSync World : Palm to acquire Handspring

According to this story on infoSync Palm is going to acquire Handspring. My first thought when I read this is that it might be some kind of joke, but that doesn't seem to be the case. If you remember, Handspring was started when a bunch of people at palm got sick of the direction it was taking. They decided to go form their own company. Here is a quote from the story:

Palm's acquisition of Handspring is the latest chapter in a now decade-old story revolving around Jeff Hawkins and Donna Dubinsky, whom originally founded Palm in 1992. Palm went on to be acquired by U.S. Robotics in 1995, which in turn was acquired by 3Com in 1997. The following year, Hawkins, Dubinsky and Colligan left Palm to found Handspring, and two years later Palm separated from 3Com.
