The Next Bench Story

Welcome Palm Employees & Community

Today, we’re excited to welcome the Palm team and its community of customers, developers and enthusiasts into the HP family.

 

We've already talked about the tremendous opportunities that will come from marrying Palm's award-winning intellectual property with HP's scale and financial strength. You can imagine the potential impact of turning the billion people who already use HP products worldwide into fans of webOS phones and mobile systems.

 

For me, what's equally exciting is the Palm team itself. Over the last couple of weeks, I've had the opportunity to personally meet a number of Palm employees, and I’ve been impressed with their passion for innovation, vision for the future and commitment to growing with HP.

 

I've also heard great stories about the Palm community's enthusiasm. And I recently met with Ben Galbraith and Dion Almaer from the Palm Developer Relations Team to discuss the opportunities that lie ahead for WebOS developers.

 

 

We're looking forward to the future. Please stay tuned to The Next Bench, our Twitter channels (@HP_PC, @palm) and Facebook pages (HP for Home, Palm) for updates.

Those are two of the greatest groups of people that I have ever met. You will be more than happy to have all of us on board with you, HP. Glad to be able to support Palm with knowledge that they can now get the things done that they intended from the start, and so much more.

 

Congrats to everyone involved.

As a Palm fanboy, I look forward to this new era. Here's hoping that all of you at HP are as open to the Palm community as Palm has been over the years! Much luck moving forward!
