Of all the things that have come out of HP's Palm acquisition so far, this gives me the most confidence. It signals a clean break with the old Palm practice of firing blindly with multiple strategies on multiple platforms; it shows they have focus, and that they're confident in the value of WebOS.
I think Windows Phone 7 has a lot of promise itself, but HP has everything they need here for full vertical integration of their mobile experience. Good to see they don't plan on wasting it.

Going with WebOS potentially puts them into the Apple league, where - if they play their cards right - can allow them to charge a premium and have a strong, dedicated following.
