And just like that, Leo Apotheker ran them all out of webOSville...

That is just too A W E S O M E ! ! !

Interesting how everyone blames Leo. The former CEO probably would have never released a webOS device because he seems to have more business sense. I don't get why anyone thought WebOS or the touchpad was ready for market. It wasn't ready in 2009 when I got the Pre and 3 years later it still isn't ready. At this point it feels like the design choices they made prevent it from being ready.
Hogwash. My Pre3 is a better phone than my Droid3. Easier to use, same call quality, better camera. Synergy puts Android to shame. Google Voice apps on my Pre3 are more user friendly because of webOS than on the Droid3. The only reason I got the Droid3 was for commercial medical apps I need. My loyalty is to usefulness - and webOS is easier to use, just lacks the medical apps.
I'm typing this on my TouchPad so I guess it was ready for market when I got it and then another for my wife who kept borrowing mine. It isn't perfect, but none of these incredibly complex microcomputer devices are. (my Droid3 spontaneously rebooted when I tapped on a phone # in Google Voice today. Maybe it isn't ready for market, either)
Merry Christmas, Grinch
i agree with deihmos. webos on all devices currently out needs alot of work still. thats probably the main reason for its downfall. not to mention the lack of apps........
oh what it could have been and what an embarrassing disaster it became.
hahaha
LOL
Leo has a bald head ;) Though he does have no balls, you've got that right!
For some reason I always thought Apotheker looked like Derek...
I love the little Veer! LOL
Is it me or does that look more like Frankenstein's monster than the Grinch?
All the pres down in preville ought to take a clue from the whos. Don't let one grinch ruin Christmas.
If I were running Google, I'd buy WebOS lock, stock and barrel. Futz with it a bit, call it Jellybean and promise it to the world in a year once I worked out a way to run existing apps in some translation/emulation mode.
I go a day or 2 without touching my TP and when I do I remember instantly what garbage Android Honeycomb and Gingerbread are in comparison...
As a kid we'd always say about people who could **** up a sure thing, he'd F' up a wet dream. In Ashley's words, "Bat **** Crazy" Leo is just such a person. To **** up arguably the best mobile OS takes real work.
