palmOne Names Andrew J. Brown as CFO 


MILPITAS, Calif., Dec. 14  /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- palmOne, Inc. (NASDAQ:
PLMO) today announced the appointment of Andrew J. Brown as the company's chief
financial officer. Brown reports to Todd Bradley, palmOne chief executive
officer, and is responsible for finance and accounting, investor relations,
corporate development and information technology.

Brown, 45, is the former chief financial officer at Legato Systems, Inc., a
storage-solutions provider that was acquired by EMC Corporation in October
2003. At Legato, he was part of a new management team that rebuilt the company.
Prior to Legato, he was the vice president and chief financial officer at
Adaptec Inc., where he helped drive company performance during periods of rapid
growth.

"Andy's credentials and proven record as a high-tech CFO make him an excellent
addition to the palmOne management team," Bradley said. "We're confident his
depth of experience will help palmOne scale its business to capture the
excellent growth and profitability potential in the handheld- computing and
communications solutions industry."

Brown replaces Judy Bruner, who left to join SanDisk Corp. as executive vice
president of administration and chief financial officer. Philippe Morali, who
held much of Bruner's former role in the interim, will resume his former
responsibilities.

Brown holds a bachelor's degree in accounting from Eastern Illinois University
(Charleston, Ill.) and is on the board of directors of Peregrine Systems.
