Couldn't agree more. The last 2 years, I've used iPhone, Android, and for the last 2 weeks, WebOS (Pre). WebOS is limited in some ways but the entire package comes off well for the end user. I find it a refreshing alternative to Apple and Google's platforms. It would be nice to see WebOS survive. An alternative to buying Palm as patent arsenal might be to go the other route: buy it and open it up more...maybe see if NZ is serious about eschewing patents and move the HQ there. Sure, that's dreamy talk, but I hope an acquirer thinks a bit more outside the box than just accounting for patent war. Even though Android is open, its complex. WebOS seems to strike a nice balance. As far as needing to jump platforms again. It seems that Verizon and a few smaller distributors are in process of pushing out the excess Pre/Pixi inventory. The reason I bought my Pre is because Verizon was giving them away, 2 for $49 (plus $29/month data plan for 2 years). For what its worth, Verizon is locked into providing support for this new set of users for the next 2 years.
