HP reported that it plans to announce that it will discontinue operations for webOS devices, specifically the TouchPad and webOS phones. HP will continue to explore options to optimize the value of webOS software going forward.
In the tablet world, we’re going to become better than number one. We call it number one plus.
Lots of smart observations and examples from iOS, Android and webOS.
Engadget’s got today’s webOS event completely covered. This is the article I’m most interested in.
Looks like the HP Webstore team didn’t get the memo about only hitting the “Publish” button after today’s event.
I’m a huge fan of webOS, and rather excited about HP’s plans for the platform - though the invite lacks any mention of the Palm brand.
Also: what a way to steal some of the limelight from competitors at CES this week.
A terrific look at the Palm Pre 2, iPhone 4 and Nexus S by Taylor Carrigan
Don’t get me wrong, the Pre isn’t perfect: but the webOS platform is genuinely innovative. I’ve always thought webOS would have been a Google OS (given their expertise in Javascript / HTML / CSS) - maybe more so than Android - but I’d be sad to see Palm disappear.
A great post looking at Palm Pre and Jon Rubinstein’s almost laughable “I’ve never used an iPhone” remark.
I’ve been playing with my Palm Pre a lot recently, partly out of curiosity, partly because I’m steering clear of any conflicts of interest with the day job at Download Squad and covering a lot of mobile-related writing - and partly because, truth be told, I’m liking the software technologies Palm are releasing. If you missed their CES announcements, here’s a brief summary I wrote up for Download Squad. I’m more curious than ever to see what Apple have planned for iPhone OS 4.0.
