Palm Offers Stockholders

Electronic Document Delivery

Voluntary Program Spares ~700-page Palm Proxy Mailing

MILPITAS, Calif., Sept. 3, 2003 — Palm, Inc. (Nasdaq: PALM) today announced an easy way for its stockholders to receive the content from proxy statements, annual reports and related materials in electronic form via email, eliminating the need for hard-copy mailed materials. Stockholders who choose to participate must provide their consent and have an active email account.

“As we draw near to finalizing proxy materials and other documentation associated with the proposed spin-off of PalmSource and the acquisition of Handspring, Inc., it became clear that the estimated 2-pound, 700-page mailing to some 350,000 stockholders is not only costly, but can be viewed by some as a waste of paper,” said Judy Bruner, Palm’s chief financial officer. “Electronic delivery of stockholder materials is cost-effective, environmentally sound and faster. Electronic storage and disposal are superior to paper, too, and stockholders can ‘search’ for subjects of interest vs. wade through pages.”

Palm stockholders who hold shares in “street name” — through a brokerage — can register for online delivery of materials at http://ir.palm.com and follow the link to “Electronic Document Delivery.”

Palm announced June 4 that its board of directors had authorized a transaction involving the spin-off of PalmSource, Inc., the company’s subsidiary responsible for creating and licensing the Palm OS^® platform, and the acquisition of Handspring, Inc., by Palm. This transaction is subject to stockholder approval at a meeting Palm expects to schedule for this fall.

700-page Proxy and Annual Package

Stockholders who do not participate in electronic delivery of materials from Palm should expect to receive approximately 700 pages, weighing about 2 pounds, of printed materials related to the proposed spin-off and the merger, as well as the annual proxy and annual report.

While Palm is publicizing this option in advance of its anticipated mailing of proxy materials, participation in the program extends to other companies’ mailings for “beneficial” stockholders, or those who hold shares in “street name,” through a brokerage account. Therefore, a participating stockholder who owns shares in, say, 10 companies via an account with a brokerage would find that all 10 companies represented in that specific account would then send their stockholder communications electronically. If a stockholder has multiple accounts within a single brokerage or with multiple brokerages, separate electronic consents are required for each account.

Whether stockholders receive their proxy materials electronically or via traditional mail, they can vote their shares electronically by going to www.proxyvote.com once the voting period begins. Instructions for online voting will be found in the proxy materials on the voting-instruction form as well as on www.proxyvote.com.

Stockholders who do not choose electronic delivery will continue to receive stockholder communications via postal service or other hard-copy mail service.
