If HP Really Wants To Be Apple, Here’s Their Shot. What About Rubinstein?

Let me start off by saying that I don't think this is going to happen. And a number of people I've spoken with today don't think this is going to happen. But it's something interesting to think about and discuss nonetheless. Following HP CEO Mark Hurd's resignation today , what if the Board were to appoint former Palm CEO Jon Rubinstein to be their new leader? Again, it seems a bit far-fetched simply because there are a range of other candidates out there who are probably more qualified to run the company as it is currently constituted. But that's the thing. From what we've been hearing, HP is very interested in reinventing itself. From what we're hearing, they'd like to be more like Apple . Only a bigger Apple. One with webOS at its core. And you know the funny thing? They may have acquired the perfect guy to do that when they bought Palm this past April : Rubinstein.
