I think the reality is, they don't know what the hell to do with webos. In owning a touchpad myself, I see a bit of the reality distortion effect that affects all of us webos users. Webos succeeds in the emotional attachment, but fails in just about everything else. I love this thing so much, but it really sucks when you compare it to an iPad, or even an android tablet.

Hp made the best decision by going with windows8 moving forward. Ms has a much better tablet foundation with metro and will have the resources to make sure win8 will be a success. Webos has no hope, I'm sad to say. I think the best thing to happen for us consumers is to see webos open sourced and see what the community does with it.

I'm curious to see what Whitman decides... I bet she gets sucked into this vocal, but minority webs support group and drops more resources on this dead platform. Don't envy HPs situation.
