I'd say the hope is that Palm has the capability to do just that with the resources HP brings (cash flow and other existing hardware vendor relationships). I'm skeptical that it will be an iPhone like explosion in any case and people expecting that to happen because a product is good should start getting ready for disappointment. That sort of growth is a factor of many more things than just the product. Apple nailed a lot more than the product the first round and that momentum has allowed them to fix the rather mediocre start with the iPhone. I will say that I've just barely taken the webOS plunge and I like it. It's everything I expected and that's a good thing since I'm a picky user (having owned both iOS and Android phones, I've never felt satisfied with either).
