How Many Palm Employees Did HP Just Lay Off?

I�m not quite sure, but make no mistake, Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) has cut some former Palm staffers from its ranks as it closes its acquisition of the smartphone maker. I�m hearing different numbers from sources (once) close to the company, so it�s difficult to put a firm number on them. Sounds like it�s not too, too many though. Double digits, not hundreds. Still: sad and awful.

�Part of the integration strategy is consolidation of functions and operations, as appropriate,� a spokesman for the company told me. �There always is turnover in organizations. Palm employees overall are enthusiastic about having the financial stability and global scale necessary to complete their vision.�
