RE: Heatherbot's Dad?
Sounds like that's been the strategy elsewhere in the company, why not in sales and support as well?
Tungsten T -> Palm TX -> TX & Centro (Good combo so far!)

RE: Heatherbot's Dad?
HE must have seen Nova, et al. And THAT didn't keep him on board.
So there must NOT be a "breakthrough level of innovation" - otherwise this guy would've stayed put and cashed in on a soaring stock.
RE: Heatherbot's Dad?
For SOME reason he is allowed to exercise his already-vested options for a full year (rather than, say, 30 days). This could suggest he negotiated (or was given for some unknown reason) a longer period so he could reap the rewards of an increased stock price "later on".
It is not clear, in addition, that his departure was voluntary thus, in that case, seeing Nova would have been irrelevant.

And now...rumors of a heavily-subsidized (perhaps $99 w/ contract) BB Storm on VZW? Palm might as well release the CDMA Treo Pro and call it a day.
Pilot 1000->Pilot 5000->PalmPilot Pro->IIIe->Vx->m505->T|T->T|T2->T|C->T|T3->T|T5->Zodiac 2->TX->Verizon Treo 700P->Verizon Treo 755p
RE: Heatherbot's Dad?
Well, okay, let's spell it out a little more than:
For:
== "seeing Nova"
substitute:
== "being aware of what Nova is and its probable release schedule"

How about free Epixes (epixi?):

RE: Heatherbot's Dad?
1) It's driven away the millions who embraced PDAs
2) It's openly mocked power users over and over again
3) Its present is based on a foundation of commodity-priced Centros
Let's say there actually IS a Nova.
1) Do we really expect Palm to come up with something BETTER than Apple or Google?
2) Even if they do, who would buy it? Will people drop their iPhones/iPod Touch or G1s or Blackberries? Would $99 Centro owners pay more for ... something they wouldn't really understand anyway? (How many Centro n00bs put on 3rd-party software anyway?)
At this point, I really don't care what Palm has. I doubt I'll be impressed or want to buy it. Anyone else?
RE: Heatherbot's Dad?
I seem to remember a comment by Colligan that this thought applies to ALL Treo/Centro buyers.
Not much of a loss.
I see that same with the tech business, a lot of these "eight inch floppy guys" need to be unloaded and not replaced to keep the salary low.
RE: Not much of a loss.
Yes, age discrimination does rule the (software) tech world.
RE: Not much of a loss.
It's worked with the customer base.

#@*!!! Anonymous anger rampant on Internet
#@*!!! Anonymous anger rampant on Internet
By Todd Leopold
CNN
(CNN) - There's a whole world of people out there, and boy, are they pissed off.
The anonymity of the Internet encourages online ranting, from election-season tirades to mockery of celebrities.

On political blogs, the invective flies. Posters respond to the latest celebrity gossip with mockery or worse. Sports fans set up Web sites with names that begin with "fire," hoping coaches, athletic directors and sportscasters lose their jobs.
