[/img]Ron Garriques, who has been leading Dell's mobile communications
group ever since its formation a year ago, is leaving the company. Ron
originally joined Dell in 2007, after a high profile career at
Motorola, and has overseen a rather ambitious entry for the company
into the phone industry. Now Dell is folding the communications unit
into its "core operating structure," and Garriques won't be along for
the transition. Of course, it's not like there haven't been some
missteps and head scratchers along the way (we still don't know if the
Streak is a phone or a tablet or a phonelet or a tabset or whatever),
and it's a little hard to tell whether Ron decided to leave willingly
when he heard his unit was being absorbed, or if Dell gave him a
little "push." True or not, it would be the perfect comeuppance for
the man who re-dubbed the Lightning the Dell "Venue Pro." Not that
we're bitter or anything.
