MyPalmLife is wrong, wrong, wrong

If this yahoo seriously thinks Todd Bradley was to PalmOne what Jordan was
to the Chicago Bulls, I have a bridge to sell him. Bradley was a nice guy,
a competant guy, and he did better than some of his predecessors, but he'd
almost have to. He ran PalmOne very conservatively, and while he had his
share of successes (like the Tungsten E) he missed a lot of opportunities,
too (like the Tungsten W, which could have been the Treo 600 before the 600
if they'd just been more ambitious).
But the real point is that let's face it, Bradley was probably asked to
leave. His replacement, the rightful heir to the PalmOne throne, is Ed
Colligan, one of the Original Three (along with Palm legends Hawkins and
Dubinsky). Ed knows this market, he's passionate about the Treo and
smartphones in general and he's been around long enough (since the
beginning, in fact) to know what works and what doesn't in a PDA. To use
MyPalmLife's analogy, it's like asking a journeyman player to step aside to
make room on the bench for Jordan to return from baseball to basketball
(and they won another three titles after that, right?).

My Palm Life talks about how it thinks Palm One is a sinking
ahip. "With the announcement of palmOne's CEO Todd Bradley's resignation,
it seems palmOne is headed down another gummy chapter in their long history
of the PDA. Not since the buy out by 3COM (who purchased then Palm's parent
company, U.S. Robotics) has it looked so bad for the Palm. Bradley's
stepping down spells sign of doom ahead and he's jumping ship. His
statement that he's "done what he wanted to do" is always a curious one for
leaders to make when they move on. History reveals they never really are as
successful in their next job and the entity they leave behind withers.
Think of Jordan and him leaving the Bulls for some baseball. Jordan did
poor and so did the Bulls. I see the same happening with palmOne."
