But I don't share the view that Palm's demise is down to only Colligan (which many online seem to do). Palm has never had the money, or the size of company, of the Apples, Nokias and Motorolas of this world. Having only two lines of (at the time) niche products - PDAs and smartphones (PDAs are now sadly dead and smartphones are becoming mainstream) - it seems to me they've never had the money to keep the innovation going and have fallen badly behind. The Pre might save them - I hope so anyway. And Rubinstein is the obvious, and best, choice. Yes, a good move.
