        Handheld maker Palm has taken a stake in a company that hopes to make millions of low-cost digital cameras and portable printers in its factories in China.
        Palm has invested in Milpitas, Calif.-based SiPix, which said Monday it has completed a $100 million round of funding in advance of its launch next month of a line of low-cost digital cameras. SiPix is also working on a pint-sized thermal printer that can be used with handhelds that use Palm's operating system. A thermal printer uses heat to transfer images to special paper.
