Nokia’s former MeeGo chief confirms new role as Senior VP of webOS at HP

According to the latest update to his LinkedIn profile, Ari is now enjoying the mild temperatures of the San Francisco Bay Area and does indeed hold the title of Senior Vice President at Hewlett-Packard. That in itself doesn’t necessarily mean he’s the new head honcho for webOS and Palm devices , but clicking on his “Company Website” link takes you to Palm.com, which should dispel any lingering doubts. So now that we know he’ll be helping steer the HPalm ship, can we start sending Ari our mockups for the Pre 3 or what?
