BTW, I received this email from the group almost 6 hours later than I sent it. What gives Yahoo??? Even for free, we deserve better turnaround than that!!
Cheers, Don From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Don Ferguson Sent: Wednesday, April 28, 2010 5:24 PM To: Treo Yahoo Groups Subject: RE: [Treo] HP buys Palm I've always liked buying HP electronic devices since my first HP45 calculator. And of course, I've had nearly every Palm device since the Pilot 1000. SO, I should be happy! I'm not quite. Palm's hardware quality has been mediocre at best in recent years. Other than printers, so has HP's. I never buy their desktop or laptop computers for my clients unless I absolutely have to, preferring the hardware quality of Lenovo (for laptops) and Dell (for desktops). HP is third. Still in all, a good thing, I suppose. Perhaps HP just sees itself competing in the computer arena with the crappy hardware product quality of Toshiba and the other retail systems, and for the world of mobile they'll see themselves competing (as they will be) with Apple and HTC, both of whom have better hardware product quality (not Apple computers, which are just as mediocre as Toshiba, but in the area of mobile devices, Apple is first rate). Maybe? But not this year, I fear. Unless they've been talking longer than we know, which is possible. Maybe HP has a smartphone and a tablet all revved up and ready for WebOS? But, the Evo is calling . . . Cheers, Don . . . snip . . . [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
