Not exactly. For the kind of money HP spent into acquiring palm it shouldn't come as a surprise to Microsoft :p

Stop making things so dramatic please.]]>Jul 24th 2010 4:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/24/hp-not-making-windows-phone-7-devices-focusing-on-webos-instead/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/24/hp-not-making-windows-phone-7-devices-focusing-on-webos-instead/
Very true. This is truly an interesting development and bodes well for the future of WebOS. I'm definitely happy that HP is considering letting Palm keep its independence. Perhaps we can expect to see some truly interesting new hardware solutions come out of this deal.]]>Jul 24th 2010 4:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/24/hp-not-making-windows-phone-7-devices-focusing-on-webos-instead/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/24/hp-not-making-windows-phone-7-devices-focusing-on-webos-instead/I think this is justified. And HP is headed the right way coz WebOS deserves to be on some good smartphones. Yeah, HP is obviously gonna stay with Microsoft when it comes to PCs. But I also can't wait to see HP Slate and other WebOS tablets!]]>Jul 24th 2010 4:12AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/24/hp-not-making-windows-phone-7-devices-focusing-on-webos-instead/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/24/hp-not-making-windows-phone-7-devices-focusing-on-webos-instead/

HP has their own mobile OS to focus upon. Microsoft has plenty of launch partners for WP7. HP is still a huge partner for MS in other areas. This really isn't a bad thing for either company, no matter how much you want to spin it into a wound for MS.]]>Jul 24th 2010 4:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/24/hp-not-making-windows-phone-7-devices-focusing-on-webos-instead/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/24/hp-not-making-windows-phone-7-devices-focusing-on-webos-instead/+1 so true.]]>Jul 24th 2010 4:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/24/hp-not-making-windows-phone-7-devices-focusing-on-webos-instead/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/24/hp-not-making-windows-phone-7-devices-focusing-on-webos-instead/

+ has HP been selling very many WinMo phones since the death of the PDA ? NO So not much of a slat for Microsoft, HP has had virtually no phone business in years which is the reason they bought Palm.

Seriously? A hardware whore?

When was the last commercially successful HP Windows phone? Is MS losing anything by HP not being a launch partner. Frankly until they purchased Palm I had thought that they were out of the phone business.

And if you were referring to their desktop/laptops then what are you smoking? HP makes billions selling machines running MS's OS. Without MS there is no HP. It's that simple.]]>Jul 25th 2010 2:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/24/hp-not-making-windows-phone-7-devices-focusing-on-webos-instead/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/24/hp-not-making-windows-phone-7-devices-focusing-on-webos-instead/

Wow, HP has owned Palm for what, 25 days now. And they are not moving fast enough? Really? Take a deep breath and try some patience. There is no doubt in my mind that they will have a compelling smartphone / tablet offering in the 4th quarter with WebOS 2.0 while announcing the PDK contest winners and starting a huge marketing campaign. I imagine they will do this in conjunction with AT&T, Verizon and Sprint and do it right this time around.

Also, don't forget the companies HP has been purchasing to make the WebOS phones more compelling and able to compete with the iPhone ecosystem. Also, HP can add printer support to WebOS. Who else has that?

Seriously, I will be surprised if they fail here, but if they do, well, as others have said, there are other great options out there. I will wait a few more months to see what they come up with before deciding on my next smartphone. Hopefully it will be worth the wait.]]>Jul 25th 2010 8:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/24/hp-not-making-windows-phone-7-devices-focusing-on-webos-instead/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/24/hp-not-making-windows-phone-7-devices-focusing-on-webos-instead/Jul 24th 2010 4:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/24/hp-not-making-windows-phone-7-devices-focusing-on-webos-instead/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/24/hp-not-making-windows-phone-7-devices-focusing-on-webos-instead/
Well, yeah, I'm glad HP is keeping Palm OS alive.

As far as WP7: what I've seen so far didn't impress me one bit. Looks like an inefficient UI with lots of wasted space and "fancy" transitions that would start to get on your nerves after the first 10 minutes of usage.
But lets wait and see...]]>Jul 24th 2010 7:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/24/hp-not-making-windows-phone-7-devices-focusing-on-webos-instead/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/24/hp-not-making-windows-phone-7-devices-focusing-on-webos-instead/Jul 24th 2010 4:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/24/hp-not-making-windows-phone-7-devices-focusing-on-webos-instead/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/24/hp-not-making-windows-phone-7-devices-focusing-on-webos-instead/Jul 24th 2010 4:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/24/hp-not-making-windows-phone-7-devices-focusing-on-webos-instead/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/24/hp-not-making-windows-phone-7-devices-focusing-on-webos-instead/]]>Jul 24th 2010 10:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/24/hp-not-making-windows-phone-7-devices-focusing-on-webos-instead/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/24/hp-not-making-windows-phone-7-devices-focusing-on-webos-instead/Jul 24th 2010 4:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/24/hp-not-making-windows-phone-7-devices-focusing-on-webos-instead/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/24/hp-not-making-windows-phone-7-devices-focusing-on-webos-instead/
