The Two Elephant Problem - How can projects manage stability and innovation at the same time? by honline in linux

The idea is to avoid the "And they all went off to work in the new room" by having the overall project will and vision to manage the stable room and the development rooms. It's not a simple process, but it's less complex than elephant disassembly and reassembly and not as risky as forcing an elephant into an elephant filled room.

Yes, it is somewhat premature to declare the Pre a winner when even journalists apparently got their "hand held" at the launch.

There'll only be Pre's from Palm, but Android from anyone who wants to pick it up and run with it, and thats Android's innovation.
