So just you know guys, most of the VP and up get a lot of restricted stock all the time (this is common for every larger company out there), guess what. When another company buys Palm, all this stock automatically vests and they can sell it. If Palm would be so bad, the stock would tank while ago, if HTC or other company buys it, the stock might go slightly up, it will probably not go down (company sale almost never pushed the stock down)

so at the end, exec who stick around might make huge profits

I have a GREAT idea that will solve Palm's problem. They should spin off into two seperate company's... one for OS and one for Hardware. Then Palm Hardware could license the WebOS for their hardware.

I bet you, if he had ANY WebOS input it was in final polishing stages of it...
Also quite naive to think one person, is responsible for a whole OS. Or that he or any single person leaving means OS is dead.
Also if u check job offers from palm, only in 2010, you can see they are hardly stalled...]]>Apr 17th 2010 11:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/palms-svp-of-software-and-services-takes-off-others-including/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/palms-svp-of-software-and-services-takes-off-others-including/

HTC may be able to benefit well from the Palm framework, but not the Palm management.

In a way I feel sorry for them. They made a great effort with the Pre but webapps aren't that powerful and developers just haven't made that many apps for it.

Android is better than the WebOS so no other company needs to buy Palm for the software. The hardware design is nice aesthetically but functionally lacking.

They're going down fast.]]>Apr 17th 2010 4:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/palms-svp-of-software-and-services-takes-off-others-including/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/palms-svp-of-software-and-services-takes-off-others-including/Apr 16th 2010 6:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/palms-svp-of-software-and-services-takes-off-others-including/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/16/palms-svp-of-software-and-services-takes-off-others-including/who's talking?

That's EXACTLY what you should do greggo.

While you're at please leave this blog and go terrorize another. Or better yet go to the google android boards and go love google over there.

We don't care about android here. We don't care if you hate Apple.

Apple is what brings people to this site and it's Apple news that gets the most results and hits.
