Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
          On June 28, 2006, Palm, Inc. (“Palm”) and Xerox Corporation (“Xerox”) entered into a Patent License and Settlement Agreement (the “Agreement”) that resolves Xerox’s lawsuit against Palm, PalmSource, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of ACCESS Co., Ltd. (“PalmSource”), and 3Com Corp. (“3Com”). Xerox filed the suit in 1997 alleging the handwriting-recognition technology marketed as Graffiti® and formerly used in Palm OS® handheld devices infringed a Xerox patent known as the Unistrokes patent. Palm paid Xerox $22.5 million for a fully paid-up license for three Xerox patents, including Unistrokes, and a seven-year mutual covenant not to sue for patent infringement within mutually agreed fields of use. Pursuant to the settlement all defendants received a full and unconditional release from any claim for infringement of the Unistrokes patent, and Xerox will dismiss the entire suit with prejudice. In addition, PalmSource and 3Com are entitled to a fully paid-up license to the Unistrokes patent.
