According to an SEC filing today, Palm’s Senior Vice President of Software and Services, Mike Abbott, is leaving the company on April 23rd.
Abbott should be a familiar face to webOS lovers – he has introduced us to many of the key features and tools for webOS, including Project Ares, the (hopefully) forthcoming Mojo Messaging Service for push notifications, and the original Early Access Program for webOS developers.
Before anybody links this to rumors of Palm’s imminent demise, we’ll note that we have also recently been tipped that Palm is still actively looking for new employees from Engineers to a Brand Strategy Director. So, you know, don’t panic.
Anyhow, we wish Mike the best of luck in the future!
