<I know he'll be promoting all the products in general, but I would think that the high end stuff is Eric B's domain. Claflin is going to try to put a Palm Pilot in every person's hand no matter where they live on this planet. Same with basic networking equipment.>
I think it's exactely the other way round. Eric is responsible for Palm computing and Claflin responsible for everything else.
From Yahoo:
In this newly created position, Claflin will oversee the worldwide operations of 3Com's $5.4 billion networking business.
