The death of Palm

Well, my post of yesterday appears to have been very prophetic. HP made several announcements today that mean BIG changes in the company.

The first move was the cancellation of the HP TouchPad tablets after a VERY short life span. They are also ended the WebOS software program completely.  Just last year HP made a big investment in buying Palm and their WebOS software with high hopes that they could compete with the iFruit company with new tablets and phones. As it turns out they were even worse than Palm had been when it comes to smart business moves in those markets.

The ending of development of WebOS finally means the end of Palm. Back in "the day" they were THE big player. Everyone wanted a Palm Pilot, it was a new an exciting product and was a huge hit. It was the iPod/iPhone/iPad of it's day and I loved them. I still use an old Tungsten model almost every day.

Rest in peace, Palm. You will be remembered.
