\"\"As a part of Palm’s just-mentioned SEC filing<\/a>, there’s a copy of the email Palm CEO Jon Rubinstein sent out to all employees<\/a>. Looks like they are going to have an all-hands-on meeting with employees to discuss the acquisition.<\/p>\n

The letter goes over the basics: HP’s resources, Palm’s innovation, and a focus on keeping the pace up now and in the future – in other words, Palm’s not going to go on autopilot while they wait for the acquisition to shake out. Good to see Rubinstein praising the work that Palm has already done "In short, we have delivered on our original plan," and also good to see that there’s not much in the way of dark clouds in Rubinstein’s message to the team:<\/p>\n

\n

I am very excited about the potential of this merger (and not only because I started my career there). HP recognizes the value in our platform, our IP and our people, and that is all a result of your hard work<\/em><\/meta><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The filing also includes ‘talking points’ detailing that there was "a high level of interest […] from other serious buyers" and that "it should be business as usual at Palm" during the integration process.<\/p>\n

Full letter after the break<\/p>\n
