HP and Palm…
Wow, who saw this one coming? While I have to say I can sort of see the brand “fitting” with the style palm has had, it almost certainly seems to be a “mediocre” bet, the same as all of palm’s doings lately. I figure they were just happy to get a life raft at all and jumped at a realistic offer regardless who it was from.
I’d have to figure that HP will most certainly do something with WebOS, perhaps move to it as their own primary platform and get away from royal fees. Perhaps they can now join the “Sue em!” bandwagon and go after Apple and/or HTC. They certainly now own the patents to do so. I just can’t express how unhappy I am this didn’t go down in the direction of HTC, the world could have been a much better place, but perhaps there are details we will never though that prevented it.
