"Who would lead?"

Jon Rubenstein? I think the Palm Pre is of the same calibre in terms of innovation and ease of use as any Apple product. I'd like to see what Palm could do with Jon at the helm, and the same resources as Apple.

Joel Rubinstein came from Apple. IIRC, Palm's founders too.

My first Palm even matched Newton's colors...

Seriously: Palm right now has its fortune hanging on a smartphone that cannot be used anyplace other than the US.

As much as I wish them well (I really do) I am not confident Joel could lead the whole PC industry anywhere. He has his hands full.

I would consider hiring back Wozniak. The guy has some serious street cred.
