1224315	2011-08-18 23:20:00	On the contrary - with the right amount of commitment WebOS would have taken on Android. I downloaded the SDK and had a play with the emulator when the Pre was about to launch - amazing! It was comparable with Android as at today from a UI point of view. Unfortunately, WebOS got caught up in some bad management, first at Palm and then at HP, who didn't see it's potential (or who saw it, and didn't want to invest). Go try a TouchPad at Harvey Normans - you'll be pleasantly surprised, I'm sure. And they'll probably be selling them off even cheaper now!!	johcar (6283)

1224317	2011-08-18 23:25:00	In a note to clients, Gleacher & Co.’s Brian Marshall said “dumping the PC business and shutting down webOS is a long-term positive.” Thats a pity (a problem) I sell alot of HP Business Class PC's (Not PAV's), as they are so reliable . I guess parts & 3year HP warranties will now also become an issue Please... dont make me switch to Acer (just joking), buts whats left for brand name business class PC's -(ie with Win Pro & 3year warranty) ?? Maybe Lenovo ??	1101 (13337)
1224318	2011-08-18 23:48:00	Dell, Lenovo, yeah not much left	Gobe1 (6290)
1224319	2011-08-19 00:31:00	Hmm - maybe WebOS isn't dead just yet: arstechnica.com	johcar (6283)
