Maybe Palm Paid Their Signing Bonuses in Apple Shares …

March 28, 2008 at 10:08 am PT

Remarkable. Downtrodden handset maker Palm (PALM) has somehow managed to poach another Apple (AAPL) veteran: Lynn Fox, the company’s now former director of Mac PR.

First Jon Rubinstein, former head of hardware engineering at Apple. Then Mike Bell the company’s VP of CPU software, in the Macintosh hardware division. And now Fox.

What does Palm have up its sleeve that could possibly inspire Rubinstein, Bell and Fox to leave Apple at a time like this?

Palm migrating a once world computing environment and loyal customers to a Linux based handheld. This is something that these three people already experienced at Apple.

I guess thre aren’t too many options anymore after 15 years of consolidation in the computer hardware industry. This is just like working for a startup for them.
