Financially its a steal. Technology wise, it could be a great move if they execute correctly. There is a lot of potential in this deal. Out of all the platforms out there WebOS is the most...]]> Thu, 29 Apr 2010 17:05:06 -0400 Thu, 29 Apr 2010 17:05:06 -0400 Thu, 29 Apr 2010 17:05:06 -0400 Apr 29, 2010 Sohil Shah 1 Socialized Broadcasting http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=60050 ...]]> Thu, 29 Apr 2010 13:42:10 -0400 Thu, 29 Apr 2010 13:42:10 -0400 Thu, 29 Apr 2010 13:42:10 -0400 Apr 29, 2010 Alexandre Poitras 0 going after the iPad? http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=60050 I think we're missing the boat some and looking at phones as HP's mobile focus. HP has not ever been in the handset/mobile hardware market and buying a dying company (though still a strong brand name) only to watch it fall further is a poor move....]]> Thu, 29 Apr 2010 11:02:57 -0400 Thu, 29 Apr 2010 11:02:57 -0400 Thu, 29 Apr 2010 11:02:57 -0400 Apr 29, 2010 Jens Eckels 0 Forget About the Developers...Who Gets the Marketing Team? http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=60050 I'm kind of scratching my head too, but in general HP current management team has made reasonable financial decisions.  I would like to give them the benefit of doubt, but I don't see it.

In a move that will send shivers down the spines of all players in the mobile phone market, with the exception...]]> Thu, 29 Apr 2010 01:30:04 -0400 Wed, 28 Apr 2010 19:04:16 -0400 Thu, 29 Apr 2010 01:30:04 -0400 Apr 29, 2010 Cameron McKenzie 9 Forget About the Developers...Who Gets the Marketing Team? http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=60050 A 1.2 billion dollar fire sale? Thing is, you spend 1.2 billion dollars a bunch of times, and eventually you start talking about some real money.

For 1.2 Billion, do you think they could just build a brand new system from scratch? Of course, why...]]> Thu, 29 Apr 2010 00:13:43 -0400 Thu, 29 Apr 2010 00:10:30 -0400 Thu, 29 Apr 2010 00:13:43 -0400 Apr 29, 2010 Cameron McKenzie 1 HP Spends 1.2 Billion to Buy an Arthritic Palm http://www.theserverside.com/discussions/thread.tss?thread_id=60050 It's a fire sale.

They probably bought the company not for their oh-so-yesterday's technology, but more for their experienced staff, so that HP could re-train palm's staff to code in Android.

It's my tax dollars at work right there, so I may as well reference them. Oh, and sadly, I was rooting for Washington. :(
