SAN FRANCISCO (Dow Jones)--In a blow to Palm Inc.'s (PALM) software

division, its chief product officer, Steve Sakoman, has left.

Sakoman left PalmSource, the Sunnyvale, Calif., software division of Palm,

Sina Tamaddon, Senior Vice President, Applications

Avie Tevanian, Senior Vice President, Software Engineering
