Oh look, Palms latest incarnation (as HP WebOS) has been killed off... again...

HP kills TouchPad and webOS phones, looks to unload PC business | This is my next...

So, was anyone stupid enough to buy a Pre?

Pre is shit

Touchpad seems decent, I know a few people that have them.

Had a play with one at Gatwick the other day, thought it was shite. No apps for it either.

In an alternate universe, Nokia would have bought WebOS, never got into bed with MS and there would be beautifully engineered WebOS handsets on the market right now. Nokia would still be an organisational basketcase, but we wouldn't care cos their phones would be cool again.

I never understood what HP was trying to do with it, I mean it was late to the tablet party and because they had bought Palm Inc it was as if they just had to use the WebOS which made sure the demolition job was complete of HPs first tablet.

They've also dropped out of making PC's too - not that I'll be missing them.

Dunno you know. Some of the HP business machines we've had over the years have been quite sturdy.

One of my friends at work had just ordered a Pre3. He returned it today. He is so gutted

The business end kit we have at work isn't bad - I just have bad memories of having 100+ D530 machines literally explode one after the other on testbench.

Yeah I saw his Facebook post. Not a happy bunny

Mr Gorman??!?

 

[DaGaffer]

Mr Gorman??!?

Yeah, serves him right for being such a fanboi.

HP provide A LOT of businesses with kit. What are they going to do ?

As an aside, I fully expect The Mash to lead with:

"HP SELLS OFF BROWN SAUCE PRODUCTION TO FOCUS ON CONDIMENT CONSULTANCY SERVICES."
