“Palm webOS Designer Matias Duarte Joining Google”
Mobile user interface master Matias Duarte has left Palm and evidently hired on at the most obvious of places: Google.
Can Google even handle a UI designer? It’s not so long ago that another rockstar designer left Google, evidently discouraged by the company’s religious faith in data over design.
I have no doubt that Google realizes the Android UI needs to improve if it’s going to try and beat the iPhone — and poaching a designer of webOS removes any doubt you might still have. But are they at all able to listen to him?
I’d be willing to take bets on how long before he quits.
