Palm sell up to HP - Bono loses a stack of cash
Troubled smartphone makers Palm have admitted defeat and agreed to sell up to Hewlett Packard for $1.2 billion dollars.
It’s good news for Palm and users of their myriad of products but bad news for previous investors in the company, who will receive a poxy return for their initial outlay.

To put it more simply, every time we click our fingers, Bono loses £92 million.
