I think the stock bump was logical based on all the CES positive feedback which meant that Palm went from “hopeless” to “hopeful” literally within minutes of the positive reviews.

I hate to be so shallow, but when it comes to my mobile gadgets, I gotta have them sleek and sexy. The Palm Pre is just kinda… round. And fat.

On the other hand, releasing a product that was drastically different from their previous efforts was absolutely necessary. The new OS was a good call, and I’m sure they’ll gain back some marketshare from RIM and Apple. 34% is crazy-high for a stock increase based solely on how people are talking about a product online, though. Not sure it’ll be able to maintain that unless Palm stocks were really, really low to begin with.

It seems a 34 percent stock bump just might mean the investors have forgiven Palm for its former unwise actions.
