Apple is losing one of its key technology executives. Tony Fadell, a senior executive who was instrumental in the development of the iPod, is leaving Apple for personal reasons. Apple said that it planned to hire a high-ranking IBM technology executive to run its iPod and iPhone hardware engineering groups. IBM had filed suit against the executive, Mark Papermaster, the manager in charge of the company's blade server business. IBM said Papermaster had signed an agreement that would prevent him from accepting a job with a competitor until one year after leaving the giant computer maker (AWSJ, IHT).
