Talent Bleed At Palm Continues As Dev Leads Leave To Battle Closed Web “Dictatorships”

Back in August, while we were in the middle of confirming an exodus of talent from Palm after their acquisition by HP, I specifically asked them about the status of two guys: Ben Galbraith and Dion Almaer . Palm refused to say anything about them. Perhaps now we know why. As both have confirmed on their personal blogs today, as well as the HP/Palm Dev Center blog , they're leaving the company as well. This is a big blow to the Palm platform as the two lead the important developer relations team for the company. It was their jobs to get people excited and developing for webOS. Now that task falls to HP.
