Biz, Tech: The guy behind the iPod and Pre is now Palm’s CEO
- Jon Rubinstein has a pretty golden touch. Hired at Apple during the company’s dark ages, he devised some of their best products as their hardware chief, including masterminding the iPod, which was a massive success. He retired in 2005 only to get courted by Palm two years later. The fruit of his labor? The Pre, which is off to a decent start. Now he’s the CEO. Go figure. source
