A part of me thinks that this is whole thing is a marketing gimmick to create a bunch of touchpad fans.
- wccrawford 15y agoOf course it is. The question is: Will it work?
- dpio 15y agoI hope so.
- mattmiller 15y agoThey got me. The touchpad is pretty cool.
- notatoad 15y agonot to create touchpad fans, the touchpad is dead. it's about creating webos fans. what they're doing with the firesale and now with the apps is increasing the value of the platform so they can sell or license it for a higher price
- sliverstorm 15y agoThat's a rather clever salvage plan. I would not have thought to try that.
- rbanffy 15y agoApotheker wants to make his stupid plan of turning HP into a software company look brilliant. It's not. Building tablets is more profitable than licensing WebOS will ever be. Who'll want it when Android has far more apps available and a very low licensing cost? Even if they manage to extract $12 per device sold, they will have to sell 100 million of them to recover Palm's acquisition cost alone. This is lunacy. I love WebOS, but this is a very bad plan.
