The very good point is that HP is buying THE Palm experience and R&D department, its Palm OS interface, though aging, is greatly revered. And so capable, Palm OS 5 ARM devices armed with truly capable software like TCPMP still held up against the best of current generation standalone PDAs and commands premium on 2nd hand market even though they are years out of production with rather minimal depreciation in asking price; I have a Palm Tungsten T3 and I dare anyone to best it if not Palm TT5/TX/LifeDrive or Dell Axim x51, it was so well-made, except the pan-cake chassis was so Y2K.

But WebOS is ill-conceived without certainty of backward compatibility and non-smartphone hardware I hadn't even have the name for it until last month; before that it was "the dead-beat software that came with Palm Pit". And FYI, I am a fan of Palm system.
