Do you really think WebOS will gain any traction under HP?  HP is very deeply in bed with Microsoft, and I don't see that changing.  HP bought Palm to send a message to Microsoft about how they were screwed over by Microsoft waffling around with Windows 7 Mobile.  But, honestly, I don't see HP putting the commitment and push behind WebOS to make it work any better.

Personally, I'd wager that in a year or two the market will be iOS, Android, and "scraps" which'll mostly consist of the corporate users who are still waiting in line for their upgrades from Blackberries to iOS or Android.

I thought it was pretty funny how HP put out a printer that had a removable Android tablet as the control panel.

I'm getting a Pre3 for sure...I really like WebOS (true multitasking from the get go..like AmigaOS!) and need the full keyboard as I need the phone for my business first and those slab things are jokes for doing some serious typing on

@ tone007

you know I tried a phone like that but the keys are just too far apart for my liking & it didnt feel right in the palms of my hands typing that way....I'm used to the tighter keys for quick two finger /thumb typing

Oh, I agree.  Of course, Droid 2 has a full slide out keyboard, so it's not an issue to me.  :D  After using it for a few months, I can't imagine going back to Palm.

.... and LOL @ tone007.  HP has a long and proud history of not using their own technologies.  You'd be surprised how many Sun/Solaris boxen (instead of HPUX) and Cisco switches (instead of ProCurve) you can find around HP.  :D

Darn, looks like Verizon only on that one.  I was looking for a bit of an upgrade on mine (AT&T,) bit more speed and higher resolution screen. Guess I'll stick with my little battery-saver a while longer!
