I liked WebOS and was enthused by the launch. I wanted to buy a device. I was in Taiwan, one of the world's consumer electronics centers. There were no devices.

I liked WebOS and was enthused by the launch. I wanted to buy a device. I was in Taiwan, one of the world's consumer electronics centers. There were no devices. FAIL. If you can't even distribute your product, then why bother building it? Seems like they spent so many years / so much money on R&D that their marketing failed. I'm sorry but a forced-smile charismatic keynote (and that's being generous), even a very well presented one, cannot make up for the lack of global distribution. The US is not relevant as a leading consumer electronics market anymore. You need to either be global, or go to Asia.
