Update: Rubinstein: “I’m still here”"},"content":{"rendered":"

\"\"Following news that Michael Abbott was leaving Palm for Twitter<\/a>, TechCrunch<\/em> is churning out a couple more executive rumors today: First<\/a>, that a 14-year Palm veteran and current VP of carrier marketing, Caitlin Spaan, is also leaving the company. Second<\/a>, that Palm CEO Jon Rubinstein himself<\/em> could be leaving.<\/p>\n

Crazy, we know, especially given that who’s getting cited here are simply ‘industry sources.’ On top of that, our hunch is that going on a whirlwind tour of interviews<\/a> certainly doesn’t seem like the behavior of a CEO on the outs. <\/p>\n

We get it: there’s a general feeling out there that there’s another shoe to drop with Palm in the near future – but do you really think it’s going to involve a gigantic combat boot-sized executive shakeup? In the unlikely event Palm sees fit to make statement on this rumor-du-jour, we’ll let you know.<\/p>\n

Update: @rboatright is in the next room over from us at Palm’s developer day and he reports that Rubinstein himself just quipped<\/a> "I’m still here" to lots of laffs. Move along, everybody.<\/p>\n
