4:19PM Hewlett-Packard names R. Todd Bradley as EVP of its Personal Systems Group (HPQ) 23.89 +0.47:Co appointed R. Todd Bradley to serve as EVP of its Personal Systems Group (PSG), which includes co's notebook and desktop PCs, handhelds, monitors, workstations and related support services. Bradley, 46, most recently spent four years at palmOne (PLMO), three as Pres/CEO. His appointment re-establishes PSG as a standalone business, following its combination in January 2005 with the Imaging and Printing Group (IPG). Vyomesh (V.J) Joshi, who had served as executive vice president of the combined Imaging and Personal Systems Group, will resume his former role as executive vice president of IPG.

CAPS FOR SEPERATION FROM NEW CLIP:

WITH MR. BRADLEY HAVING SUCH A BROAD POSITION IN THE PSG GROUP MAKING NOTEBOOKS, DESKTOPS, HANDHELDS AND SUPPORT SERVICES, HE COULD REALLY DO SOMETHING WITH A PALM LINUX OS.

ULTRA LIGHT NOTEBOOKS COULD BE MADE, DESKTOPS RUNING LINUX WITH AN IDENTIFIABLE GUI, AND HANDHELDS THAT COULD BE INCREDIBLE.

JUST HAVE TO SEE HOW AGGRESSIVE HP WANTS TO BE WITH IT NEW PRODUCTS BUT THE POTENTIAL IS THEIR.

I think we'd really need to see something impressive from Palmsource before speculating on a Palm/HP marriage here.

People have been saying it for years, but I'll echo it yet again, the zen of palm is dying/dead. People want fancy pretty gadgets with lots of features.

>> "My only hope from this announcement is that with the head of HP being a former Palm head that HP will consider licensing PSRC products and make a COMPLETE line of handhelds."

That seems unlikely since PalmOS market share is declining, which indicates LESSENING demand.

no, he's insane.

:-(lol) thanks for your thoughts.

Like most successful international "companies" started with an idea focused on the customer (people) who give the company purpose.

VC2K, Raven, e-knarr, we-com virtual wallet is not yet a company and to some that is insane. A good company assures all that have risked their thoughts are never left behind. In an advanced economy we can include all thoughts. "Insane" thoughts have value too depending on ones frame of mind. To be called "insane" or to be insane what would you rather choose?

Let's give more purpose to digital in the form of people driven choices that are open to unique thoughts that do not compromise ones freedom(s)

Eh some have interacted with many PDAs ... even the DOS based 200 LX.

Peace,

I agree that inserting this guy into HP is analogous to HP swallowing a poison pill. He is the embodiment of a P1 trojan horse left outside the castle of HP. Bad times are ahead for HP if the dismal leadership at PalmOneSource has shown us. They're more interested in constantly reorganizing where the office furniture should go and pay little attention to the business at hand which nowadays seems to be $49 reconditioned Palm IIIxe's.

Oh yes, I've now been to Circuit City, Best Buy and Frys and no one is carrying the lifedrive or "stillborndrive". They have abandoned the segment, their customers, and most importantly, themselves. Apple has Jobs, Microsoft has Bill, Dell has Michael. Who does Palm have to re-invigorate the cycle and platform? Certainly not Hawkins. Who will step up to the plate and be the new evangelist at Palm?????????????????

How about Jeff and Ed?

kirvin? that guy should be making doughnuts somewhere.

What about just plane "principle" in action?

When some try to be "principled" you imply they are "insane".

Have principled people gone mad or have some simply forgotten that to be un-principled was "insane" ... 9/11 was an un-principled choices with ridicules consequences.

If the future is "insane" then we must value education too to bridge understanding. Perhaps with understanding comes sanity. Perhaps "insanity" is a consequence of not enough choices?

""Talk doesn't cook rice." - Chinese Proverb"

Some also care how the rice will get paid for so thinking of ways to work in North America along with a federation of the willing seems logical too.

"Where's the beef"? Where's the NHL hockey? Where's the lumber? Where's the choice to power our cars with choices?

Rice would not exist, nor would the above choices, if some person(s) did not ask (talk) about the value of rice. In a democracy people give talk value, which gives capital value, which is why capitalism is a component of democracy. It is people free to be ridiculed that take the early risks – North American proverb

Let's do more than proverb … WE have too much to do?

Peace,

I'm sorry to be blunt, but your epiphany is truly lame nonsense.
