HP dumps webOS



Just yesterday I wrote that it was time I come to terms with the reality that Palm/webOS was dead, and today HP announced it is discontinuing its webOS operations http://www.zdnet.com/blog/btl/hp-punts-on-webos-discontinues-touchpad-cuts-outlook/55386?tag=content;feature-roto

Unbelievable.

HP TouchPad not selling well


Larry Dignan reports for ZDNet that HP's TouchPad sales are underwhelming and ponders who's to blame, HP or Best Buy? While he concludes both, I lay it squarely on HP.

Last I checked, the product has never been called the "Best Buy TouchPad." It's HP's baby, and it was up to them to do a proper launch and give the TouchPad a fighting chance.
