Ex-Apple Exec Jon Rubinstein Takes Over at Palm as CEO. He was already calling the shots, now it's official

It has been clear to most observers that Jon has been calling the shots for quite some time. This just formalizes it. It was very clear Palm's investors had brought Rubinstein in to run the company. - Analyst Michael Gartenberg

It's truly remarkable how one person can turn a company around. Palm has put out mediocre CRAP since the Palm V. (Don't talk to me about Treos. They were always "mediocre, the best out there" but never great.)

But in just two years Ruby turned Palm around and they now have a product that is the biggest competition Apple has. So few people actually create great products, most people do the minimum they need to do.

I think the iPhone is still superior in most ways. And the biggest reason why I hear people are buying Pres is because of Sprint... but regardless, they have a great product and it's going to be fun watching how they progress.
