I know his comment sounds smug at face value, but he is correct. If you do the math in terms of sales outlets, they have an impressive footprint globally and I'd expect that to translate into impressive sales down the line. Don't forget they expect to integrate webOS into their printers and other things too.
- whatusername 16y agoBut doesn't the same "Math" apply to Nokia/Microsoft?
- mikecane 16y agoIt could, but what do they have to sell? Nothing yet, right? So far from the press I've read, MS can't get updates out smoothly yet. I think Palm, and now HP, take a different approach than MS. After all, HP builds its own hardware and MS does licenses.
- whatusername 16y agoI think I'm showing my Australian bias here.. The Palm website: http://www.palm.com/au/ http://www.palm.com/au/ shows thatPalm are "introducing" WebOS on the "new" Palm Pre. I can't see HP turning that around any time soon.
