\"\"<\/a>Endgadget is reporting this morning<\/a> that webOS design expert Matias Duarte has left Palm for Google to be their User Experience Director for Android.\u00a0 This move is a reunion of sorts for Duarte as he previously worked with Android head Andy Rubin on the Sidekick project.<\/span><\/p>\n

Duarte was without a doubt one of the big boys over at Palm, but recent rumors that his rigidity with design and the fact that he is a bit of a control freak caused some friction amongst the team he was working with.\u00a0 The good news for Android lovers out of that rumor is that he may be coming to Google to help bring some cohesion to the fragmentation issues with Android.<\/p>\n

Will a Rubin\/Duarte reunion bring Android forward in big ways?\u00a0 I can’t imagine doing anything but that.\u00a0 It will be interesting to see what this team up will bring to the Android platform.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
