Bull crap. Palm has amazing software, it would be legendary when paired with great hardware (hopefully HP can supply that great hardware while Palm keeps up the good work with webOS.)]]>Apr 28th 2010 5:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/hp-were-doubling-down-on-webos-palm-that-was-the-whole-po/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/hp-were-doubling-down-on-webos-palm-that-was-the-whole-po/
Just to preface, I currently use a Nexus One, and I love it. But Web OS is seriously awesome. It's a beautiful operating system and I actually prefer it to Sense. There's no reason to mix the two. All HP has to do with this acquisition is jump headfirst into the mobile and tablet realms with decent, affordable, hardware and they should see some positive returns. ]]>Apr 28th 2010 5:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/hp-were-doubling-down-on-webos-palm-that-was-the-whole-po/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/hp-were-doubling-down-on-webos-palm-that-was-the-whole-po/

For me the interesting part is... Dell hitting with a buncha various platform devices (see recent Engadget leak post), and HP turns around and BUYS Palm.

Wonder how this will shake out.]]>Apr 28th 2010 6:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/hp-were-doubling-down-on-webos-palm-that-was-the-whole-po/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/hp-were-doubling-down-on-webos-palm-that-was-the-whole-po/
HTC is not even in the same league as Palm and their aquisition of the company wuld have undoubtedly ruined them.

"HP calls webOS a 'compelling operating system,' but that Palm didn't have the money to compete and 'scale it across multiple form factors,' and that it's exactly HP's financial wherewithal, brand, and corporate culture that it brings to the table."

You are one of the few HP fan boys... though I am sitting here typing on my HP business notebook, with my Palm Pre... the office has all HPs and an HP server and at home I have an HP netbook and desktop.
