He won't design the hardware but rather the UI

This isn't bad news surely, but i'm kind of surprised why it's taken as such a good news. What's his merits in software side(i really don't know)?

As far as Palms hw design.... well they have made some okis looking soap boxes. :p

Looks to me like ex-palm employers are not very happy by the new regime
