Palm, which makes the Pre and Pixi phones and develops WebOS phone software, is working with Goldman Sachs Group Inc and Qatalyst Partners to find a buyer, the agency said.
Palm's shares jumped on Friday, capping a volatile week in which the smartphone maker's stock seesawed on takeover rumors and options market chatter.
On Friday, Taiwan's Economic Daily News said that HTC Corp, the world's No. 5 smartphone maker has, "opened discussions about an intent to acquire" Palm.
Palm could not be immediately reached for comment by Reuters outside regular US business hours.
