According to a report by Scott Moritz of TheStreet.com, the Palm Pre hasn't flopped at all. In fact, return rates for the Palm Pre continue to be lower than most other smart phones on the market. As stated in the article, this could make Palm extremely attractive to a take over bid by several companies "The success of Palm's WebOS increases the chance that a larger player -- think Nokia (NOK Quote), Hewlett-Packard, Motorola -- could buy Palm as a quick entrance to the fast-growing smartphone market." Don't forget that Dell was also mentioned several times before to buy out Palm and get it's own rumored phone into the market. With returns as low as RIM's Tour (which I returned btw), this is the beginning of several unique devices to come from Palm and Sprint.
