Hmmmm, maybe Xerox feels a threat from the Edgeline technology of H-P and feels in order to continue to compete it needs a solid entry into that part of the merket. Could H-P be looking at someone to help solidify their position in the Segement 1-2 and build a position in segments 3, 4 and 5? Someone like IKON? H-P will have invested $1.5 BILLION in the Edgeline technology so what's a few more BILLION BUCK to ensure its success? Boy, would Canon go CRAZY then.
