I actually don't really care, I really didn't understand why HP even bought Palm or WebOS, Even Microsoft is having trouble getting into the Smartphone market with their new Windows Phones, and yet, they have already been in this market for years. WebOS while a very capable and modern Smartphone OS, is just not going to be able to compete with Android or iOS. If it would have be licensed out back when the first devices came to market, it may have had a chance, but now I think it's too little to late. When you have Android as an alternative, with an already very large app database, as well as the customization options you can do on top of it to make it your own, it will be hard to get other hardware companies to jump on board the WebOS train now.
