Android tablets have suffered from percieved 'panic' when deviced havent sold. How many revisions of the Galaxy Tab have Samsung released now? Totally devalued the brand, not to mention confusing it.
HP need to stand strong when sales are low, marketting has to be long-term and really focussed on building the 'Touchpad' brand.
The market will mature, and HP can and maybe even should be there waiting in prime position to capitalise.
Hi I agree with you 100%!

I love the Palm brand, and would love to get a 'Palm" sticker on my Pre 3 and/or Touchpad :-) , but I'm glad HP were the ones who ended up with Palm.
Hi, I also am glad that it was HP who ended up with Palm b/c they can afford to wait until the world discovers what we know...how great webOS truly is!

This is some very high praise from someone who isn't a webOS ******. I just hope the market feels the same way and we're able to claim the #2 tablet position.
Hi, from what I see, I feel the same...one of my dearest friends who has the first model of the Ipad wants to see the TouchPad and is strongly considering trading in his Ipad for a TouchPad.

Hi I agree with you on that one....the fact that the Playbook OS was so far from being finished is what is killed RIM now....(can't use it for email & address book unless yiou have a BB)....Palm pushed out the Pre/webOS before they were ready and look what happened....history is just repeating itself...
