Colligan out, Rubinstein in as Palm CEO
Despite being the man who led the charge of the Pre and webOS after a 9 year tenure at Apple, it still came as a bit of a surprise when Palm announced that Jon Rubinstein will be assuming the role as CEO starting tomorrow. After everything Palm has been through, now is when it makes a major change at the top? Taking over the position that has been held by Ed Colligan for the past sixteen years, Rubinstein will be entrusted with ensuring the company stays on the straight and narrow as it attempts to re-establish itself as a major player in the smartphone market. As for Colligan, he will join Roger McNamee at Elevation Partners, a major financial backer of Palm, after a much needed hiatus.
Good discussion. I actually enjoyed reading these!!!
Here is what i don’t understand ALL companies not just AT&T charge significantly more for there phones if your not entitled to an upgrade. I am getting the new iPhone next week I am going from the original to 3G S I waited so that I could get the new one and get it at a good price, and not bitch an moan like so many others that feel the need to buy a new iPhone every year. so really your upset because AT&T won’t again autoqualify people again? talk about greedy and dumb!
LOL at the Pre selling 50 000 and people are saying Apple is finished, pass me what you smoking.
This should help, looking foward to the next generation of smartphones they. A 4G Pre has me excited
