Former Palm CEO Jon Rubinstein leaves HP

I'm going to be really curious to see what he does next. Jon did an excellent job of making Palm relevant and exciting again. It was just too bad that their hardware was shoddy and the all-in push came too late.

Release dates:
iPhone: 29JUN2007
iPhone 3G: 11JUL2008
Palm Pre: 06JUN2009
iPhone 3GS: 19JUN2009

iPad: 03APR2010

I consider Palm's "all-in push" being the release of the Palm Pre (to compete with the iPhone).

I consider the release of the Veer/Pre3/TouchPad being HP's "all-in push" to sell WebOS where Palm failed.

Disclaimer: I don't own any Apple devices and am the proud owner of a first-generation Palm Pre (no longer in service but still seeing daily use).
