Former Palm CEO Jon Rubinstein was elected to join Amazon's board, the company announced today via an SEC filing. Rubisntein is currently a senior VP and general manager at Hewlett-Packard, following HP's $1.2 billion acquisition of Palm earlier this year. Before joining Palm, Rubinstein was in charge of Apple's iPod division and was the company's senior hardware executive. At Palm, he tried to take on his former employer by developing WebOS smartphones which compete with the iPhone. Going after Apple took him off Steve Jobs' Christmas list.
