One of the jobs of a CEO is to be a corporate cheerleader. Dell's entry into handhelds has generated a tremendous amount of hype. As the head of PalmSource, part of his job is to try to deflate some of that hype.

Bingo! Calling him "clueless" may just show how clueless the caller is. :-)
No matter what happens (unless you're Enron or MCI), you're going to try to spin something to make you look better. I suspect Nagel may be lying through his teeth, but I doubt he's clueless.
