Palm Hires Former Apple Engineer
Thursday, March 8th, 2007 at 2:00 PM - by Jeff Gamet
Palm CEO Ed Colligan may not be excited about the iPhone, but that hasn't stopped his company from hiring former Apple engineer and iPod interface alumni Paul Mercer. The New York Times reports that Mr. Mercer joined Palm three weeks ago to work on a new line of products.
Palm representatives aren't elaborating on what Mr. Mercer is working on. But considering the age of Palm's current Treo smart phone line up, it's easy to assume he will be working on some type of device designed to breath new life into the Palm platform, and potentially compete with Apple's iPhone.
Mr. Mercer started with Apple in 1987, and was a lead designer for Mac System 7. After leaving Apple, he launched Pixo - the company that Apple went to for the tools to create the first iPod interface. Since then, he has also worked on Samsung's Z5 MP3 player.
