Well I guess that takes care of you reviewing/buying the Pre 3....such a shame. I was really looking forward to that device and your review of it.

@ccolardeau MrThaibox123 (Adam) has one on his channel.

@davomrmac My commiserations to you, Dave.

You're right HP bodged it up. I guess new management doesn't always mean good management. I do share your wish of somebody buying up WebOS and developing it further. Hopefully time will tell if you and I get our wish.

Keep up with the good work and I'll keep following your progress, Dave.

Grettings,

nick

HP did not know how to bring out WebOS they brought a really good operating system down into the gutters. very bad decision by HP in my opinion

[davomrmac]

@TheTechMundo Well said!

what a shame...it had so much potential

[LizyHunt]

Totally agree whit you. It's shame that the best looking os has no future which makes me very sad. I was going to buy a Pre3, but even before they announced that they'll be no longer supporting WebOS I knew it was going to happen. I hope some one buys WebOS and makes it run Android apps. I can't understand why no one wants to develop for web os since its applications are build on html, java and so on. Many web developers could use the opportunity to earn some extra dollars on making apps.

If it has failed twice on the market then it is going to be hard to sell it to the masses on the basis it might get canned again. I am sad to be seeing it go too.

hello frm YOUROPE lmao :)))

[FeeLtheHertZ]

They're still working with WebOS and may license it OR do something new with it, AND HP put out an article describibg that that actually installed WebOS on an iPad2, and it ran ***WAY*** FASTER than the TouchPad, the hardware is what was holding WebOS back.

[Betermin]

HTC picking up WebOS would be awesome, but I think they have their major market in Android and Windows Phone 7 right now. Seems a bit odd for them to throw a third operating system into their line-up. 

[swingking338]

Palm os was brilliant. Shame on hp.

[AlexsTechReviewz]

No wonder HP Web OS hit the shitter. If your device isn't an Android (FTW) or iPhone (also FTW) then no one would buy it. Because the found out how awesome android and iOS is.

[jameslcr]

they must have been losing money and couldn't see the web os taking off due to apple there a business and there there to make money that was losing them money so they cut there loses and split a good move hp :D

[BramowitchIII]

for 99 dollars i'm gonna buy a HP touchpad.

[N1ghtv1s1on360]

upsetting? you pretty much exclusively use apple :S

[MrStephen182]

Good Video. Totally agree with you Dave HP messed up big time with WebOS. It should of been so much more then it was under HP.
