HP CEO says he didn’t buy Palm for smartphones | Boy Genius Report
Palm goes out not with a bang, but in HP’s grab for IP. Rest in peace Palm. I was rooting for you.
This is sad news for everybody who was hoping for another financially well endowed competitor in the smartphone business — and the young business of client-host-based tablet computing.
What bugs me, is whether HP is trying to avoid the risks of competing in the smartphone market, or if they simply don’t recognise the potential of WebOS as a smartphone operating system.
