I'd love to see webOS phones dominate the mobile market. I believe it is the best mobile operating system ever. I'm sure HP will get it into the mainstream.

Here is a great quote: “This is a great opportunity to take two Silicon Valley idols and put them together,” Humphries noted. That’s an obvious statement, but he quickly moved on to the meat. “WebOS is the best-in-class mobile operating system. Our intent is to double down on webOS,” Humphries said. Dude…seriously? These quotes are what every webOS developer had ever wanted to hear. Check this one out: I asked Humphries to expand a bit about webOS and how it stacks up to rival mobile OSes made by Apple and Google. I also asked why HP wouldn’t just develop its own mobile OS as Apple has done? “We think it’s one of the best operating systems out there today. We see nothing in development in the next 3 to 5 years that comes close,” Humphries said. “We want to take HP’s financial strength and use it to take webOS to the next level,” he continued. “We’ll compete aggressively in the market with Apple and Google. We’ve got our hands on a very compelling operating system,” Humphries concluded. He also noted that the plan is to keep it as open and friendly to developers as it has been. WebOS is gonna explode folks…and you have a front row seat. Man this is exciting. We are still coming up with our thoughts on all of this… we will have our ever popular analysis soon. http://www.webosroundup.com/2010/04/hp-doubling-down-on-webos/?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+webosroundup+%28webOSroundup%29 -- Tony Cooke www.tonycooke.co.uk contactable at tony.j.cookeATgooglemailDOTcom Blessed is the end-user who expects nothing, for ye shall not be disappointed. ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
