Along with Donna Dubinsky and Jeff Hawkins, Colligan helped build Palm, the company that produced the first decent handheld organizer back in 1996, after giants like Apple Computer tried and failed with its rather rotten Newton."</i><br /><br />Palm CEO Ed Colligan gives his thoughts in a Forbes interview on cell phone etiquette and why he thinks the Treo is better than the Q amongst other things. On the subject of manners he says that when people go to meetings, they sit and do emails on their pocket devices and not pay any attention. I have a news flash. Maybe if the meetings weren't so boring the email would wait.
