"I think we’ve done really well this past year", Palm CEO Jon Rubinstein said during an interview with All Things Digital ’s Kara Swisher at the Consumer Electronics Show. "We told everyone what our plans were and we really executed on those," he continued, adding, "We said we’d deliver the Pre in the first half and launched it in June. We said we’d add more carriers and we did that as well…. Throughout the year we’ve delivered a lot of over-the-air updates, improving the product, and then we launched the Pixi….I look at the last two years as a transitional period and the year ahead as a transformational one." And what of the year ahead? Further improvements, says Rubinstein: "We’re really, really focused on the consumer experience–the simple user interface, multitasking, synergy, seamless messaging applications…the gesture-based interface; these are all things that make our products stronger." The conversation shifts to the mobile space and the competition in it.
