My new HP Pacilion DV4 notebook LCD is dead. I sent to its maintenance center in Taipei. It took them 7 days to fix. Before you, I mean HP, come out with better services, please don't launch new products.

My Palm Treo 650 was mal-functional. I was told to sent it to Singapore from Taiwan. I fixed it by myself. No services in Taiwan.

Why not dispose of Palm and use MeeGo instead?

Next time, I will buy non-HP, and non-Palm products.

Service matters.

Let Rub run it, give him the funds he needs, let him make those phones, better ones this time, and give him turns of money for ads and let your ad team do ads for palm. If they do that then palm will be back into play in no time!]]>Jul 22nd 2010 6:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/Jul 22nd 2010 6:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/Jul 22nd 2010 6:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/Jul 22nd 2010 6:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/Jul 22nd 2010 6:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/Jul 22nd 2010 6:13PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/

i think webOS is much MUCH better than the other 2. I have used both and went from a pre to a EVO. From what i hear webOS is somewhat the engineers wanted iOS to be. But control freak didnt want it. Rubi took it and the engineers to palm. ]]>Jul 22nd 2010 6:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/
Building an OS around WebKit is a stupendously good idea. I just had a little play around with 3D transforms. To say I was blown away is an understatement.]]>Jul 22nd 2010 7:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/
To clarify, I know that this can be done on both Microsoft's WPF platform and Apple's native platforms (I have lots of experience with both). What I love about these new web technologies is how amazingly easy it is and how fast it all is.

The web is definitely going to kill desktop platforms. HP needs to make sure Palm is not only riding that wave, but contributing towards it. That's the biggest way they can compete, IMO - by becoming a major player in advancing web technologies. Since these changes can be merged back in to WebKit (esp. if they get adopted by standards bodies), it's sort of like a trojan horse tactic.]]>Jul 22nd 2010 7:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/Jul 22nd 2010 6:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/Jul 22nd 2010 6:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/Jul 22nd 2010 6:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/Jul 22nd 2010 6:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/Jul 22nd 2010 6:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/
Their brand recognition is strong and plays well to the demographic they're gunning for.

HP should really allow Palm to run on its own for smartphone and consumer mobile products and let WebOS be the identifier on HP tech that uses it.  This would fit better and allow continued capitalization of the Palm Identity.]]>Jul 22nd 2010 7:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/
I think this is the absolute right move.If you ask people, what about a Palm everyone thinks of the Treo. They have no reputation and what little they do have is about a buggy old phone. ]]>Jul 22nd 2010 10:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/Jul 22nd 2010 7:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/Jul 22nd 2010 7:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/Jul 22nd 2010 7:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/Jul 22nd 2010 7:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/Jul 22nd 2010 8:04PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/let me know when you find this mythical company]]>Jul 22nd 2010 8:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/Jul 22nd 2010 8:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/Jul 22nd 2010 8:28PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/Jul 22nd 2010 8:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/22/hp-ceo-palm-could-end-up-a-sub-brand-of-the-company/

Step 1 - Blow $1.2B on failing company

Sound familiar? That's pretty much what happened with Compaq in the Fiorina era, and it destroyed her career and relegated HP to the tech doldrums for a while.

HP can bite down on a fat man chunk!
Have you seen the degradation of the HP calculators of late? The cheap ass build quality! Yuck. I bought the 48 G from J &R music several years ago. All excited and screaming like a damn cheerleader. But once I touched that junk I was furious! My god was it flimsy! And the UI, if you want to call it that was shit on a stick!!!!!
