"If Cook does not accept the offer, HP will go with an internal candidate."my prediction: todd bradley. clearly they're interested in tuning up the operations of outsourced consumer electronics. although i was going to bet that they'd leave CE behind now that EDS is performing for them & generating all kinds of profit. however, hp did buy palm so we've pushed out the sale of the PC & printer divisions for a few more years. and the closest person to tim internally is todd, especially with his ace in the hole of Palm experience.
oh wait - i got it now. hp needs tim's kung fu around whipping contract mfg partners into shape. otherwise the palm acquisition is all for nothing, if they cant launch products ontime. and who better than the guy responsible for harnessing foxconn for apple? obviously apple figured it out...with tim at the helm.
