The question is: is there a profitable long-term market in the Touchpad?
Who actually bought the device? Corporations who will commit to long term usage (I doubt it) or tech nerds who will flash the device to run Android (leading to a different, well-populated market) or tech nerds who will use the device as is (and abandon it in a year or two)?
Honestly, this sounds like very short-term thinking on the part of Palm.
