HP welcomes Palm employees, community 12

by Dieter Bohn Thu, 01 Jul 2010 10:38 am EDT

 

HP's Phil McKinney has written a welcome letter to the Palms employees who are now HP employees:

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

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.

McKinney says howdy, everybody - say howdy back, he's up on Twitter here: @philmckinney. While you're adding new places to follow, here are some more:

Tell 'em PreCentral sent ya!

ITs a sad yet exciting day all in one. I am sad to see Palm go (in a sense) yet with HP there is tons of possibilities.

Go Palm!
Go HP!
GO HPalm!

Sounds pretty good to me. I've excited to see what Palm and HP can do. Go Palm and HP! Also, I'm really glad there's no Carly Fiorina to screw everything up ;)
