Jon Rubinstein leaves Hewlett-Packard

We’re hearing news that former Palm chief Jon Rubinstein has decided to leave Hewlett Packard. According to AllThingsD , it comes at the end of his 24-month commitment period to remain at the company after its disastrous acquisition of Palm. An HP spokesperson has confirmed the story and said that “Jon has fulfilled his commitment and we wish him well.” Rubinstein rose to fame as a hardware guru at NeXT before joining Apple after the company was purchased in 1996. He was instrumental in developing the iMac and PowerMac desktops before spearheading the iPod project which would herald the company’s growing dominance. After leaving the company in 2006, he joined Palm to help revitalize the flagging handset maker, developing the Palm Pre and WebOS software platforms before being named as its CEO in 2009.
