Is Palm merger a shotgun marriage?

The link above is to some ok comentary on Palm buying Handspring.

As expected there are a lot of people sharing their two cents on this topic at the moment. One of them is Jeff Hawkins who came up with the original Palm Pilot and later left Palm, Inc to found Handspring. He cut straight to the point yesterday when he said "This is not a reunion, there is no nostalgia here". Very straight to the point.
