Palm PDA

Never liked Palm.  Gave Sony the benefit of the doubt and bought the U50 or something like that, cool hardware but the OS was such crap I found it useless.  $500 down the drain!

The new WebOS (sounds like they got smart and dropped the whole "Palm" thing if I've heard right) looks decent, but I don't think it's any competition for Android, iPhone, or even Windows Phone.

WebOS is far better than Windows phone, Android or even Iphone OS, if it is not competition is because marketing reasons and not because the quality of the OS

Last I checked (it's been a few months,) the software library was also a fraction of the size of iPhone and Android's.  Not to say you can't find what you need, but if there are only 2 or 3 variations on an application you're less likely to find one that suits you best when the competition has 20 or 30 variations.

Here's a good one.  HP bought Palm, correct?  Apparently they didn't like WebOS enough to put it on this flashy new HP printer, it comes with an Android tablet as a detachable control panel! http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/12/hp-photosmart-estation-c510-printer-android-tablet-now-on-sale/

I played with one in the store yesterday, it's very nice.
