During all those years at Palm Colligan was the company’s relationship guy with all of the carriers – first in sales then as CEO. I wonder if they have the folks in house that can replace all of that day to day while Ed’s at Elevation? Palm did a great job hiring the developer’s from Apple. Forming a business relationship with the carriers is a whole other matter and a different skill set that Palm is not exactly a master of at this point. And it’s important as they are going to need to fight for subsidy dollars against everyone out there and carriers are not going to subsidize everything or in the amounts that Palm may need.

Then again, this is the same CEO that gave the green light to the Folio, so maybe he won’t be missed after all. And Rubenstein’s take on the Folio may be better timed since that’s where the PC market is being played out right now.

Here’s what will happen. Apple buys Palm via a hostile takeover, once integrated, Steve fires Rubinstein. Rubenstein becomes enraged and goes to Android, who buy Microsoft Windows and builds an intelligence chip and renames the company Skynet. There, the technology grows and feels threatened and kills Rubinstein, goes after Jobs. Jobs, goes back in time and fights Rubenstein while in Kindergarten and kills him in the playground. Steve saves all. iPhone 10G is released it looks exactly the same as the 3G, but now it multitasks and has a multi inbox integration. At&T is snubbed and Apple goes to Verizon. AT&T goes nuts and finds a copy of the chip that Rubenstein manufactured and revives him… the war continues….
