Regardless, it would work like this:
HP is Palm's sugardaddy, giving them money because its attractive, and Palm uses that money to finally build a superphone that would smack down the Evo, or iPhone 4G. However Palms gonna have to drop to its knee's every once in a while to whore out WebOS to things it was never meant for like printers (shudders) or tablets (please please give me a webos tablet with flash).]]>Jun 3rd 2010 6:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/hp-says-its-in-the-smartphone-market-after-all/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/hp-says-its-in-the-smartphone-market-after-all/Jun 3rd 2010 6:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/hp-says-its-in-the-smartphone-market-after-all/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/hp-says-its-in-the-smartphone-market-after-all/Haha, cause HP is doing so well in the smartphone market!

"Apology accepted, Captain Hurd . . ."
(Vader steps over Hurd's lifeless corpse)]]>Jun 3rd 2010 6:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/hp-says-its-in-the-smartphone-market-after-all/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/hp-says-its-in-the-smartphone-market-after-all/HP actually has done business with HTC in the past.

The old iPAQ hx4700? HTC Roadster. Heck, if you look on the motherboard, one of the ICs has the HTC logo on it.

That's probably not the only example, either. HTC built a lot of devices for other entities to slap their own brands on (the Dell Axim X50v was another one), but only more recently have they put their own name on their devices.

I wouldn't be surprised if they DID have HTC build the hardware because of this. Let's just hope it's good, reliable hardware. (The iPAQ 210 pictured above with a webOS screen shopped on it apparently had a lot of issues that kept me from replacing my hx4700 with one. Don't know if HTC built it, though.)]]>Jun 3rd 2010 6:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/hp-says-its-in-the-smartphone-market-after-all/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/hp-says-its-in-the-smartphone-market-after-all/Jun 3rd 2010 6:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/hp-says-its-in-the-smartphone-market-after-all/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/hp-says-its-in-the-smartphone-market-after-all/Jun 3rd 2010 6:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/hp-says-its-in-the-smartphone-market-after-all/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/hp-says-its-in-the-smartphone-market-after-all/Psych out!]]>Jun 3rd 2010 7:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/hp-says-its-in-the-smartphone-market-after-all/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/hp-says-its-in-the-smartphone-market-after-all/Jun 3rd 2010 7:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/hp-says-its-in-the-smartphone-market-after-all/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/hp-says-its-in-the-smartphone-market-after-all/Thank god you were here lord Vader....

I'm a happy Android user, but was always thinking, that the best way to study new computer language or OS is to do it *in comparison* to another language / OS.

well, that would be unfair to Nokia.

Yeah the touchscreen iPaq phone was around BEFORE the "world's first touchscreen phone!" aka... the iPhone]]>Jun 3rd 2010 9:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/hp-says-its-in-the-smartphone-market-after-all/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/hp-says-its-in-the-smartphone-market-after-all/
Battery life and speed were addressed through the ongoing patches that Palm was administering toward the end of the Pre's life (I'd say it's basically "dead" now). The Pre Plus didn't demonstrate the same kind of lag or stuttering that the original Pre did and it's battery life was better than my Droid Incredible (which may not be saying a whole lot). ]]>Jun 3rd 2010 9:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/hp-says-its-in-the-smartphone-market-after-all/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/hp-says-its-in-the-smartphone-market-after-all/
He's still a douche. We all know that external pressure is what's responsible for the backtrack.

BRILLIANT plan Lord Vader! How did it work out for you?]]>Jun 4th 2010 11:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/hp-says-its-in-the-smartphone-market-after-all/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/03/hp-says-its-in-the-smartphone-market-after-all/That kiddo Vader got nothing to do with this. In my universe I am the ruler and no one but me.
Mark Hurd is one of my close servants. The goal was to get HP globalized then striking Palm to suffer financially. It was matter of time to buy it in cheap price. The next goal would be installing WebOS into every single gadget.
We forced Google to leave Windows for Mac/Linux then the next step will be to adapt WebOS.
Nasa is on the list as well.

All of these towards my superior goal.
