HP just doesn't get it.

So let me get this straight.  The touchpad sold so poorly that HP not only discontinued the product but they're getting rid of their entire consumer division.  They then slash the price to $99 and it sells out almost instantly.



Maybe they should have priced it around $199 originally, taken a bath on each unit and made it up in the app store.  I bet a lot more developers would be likely to code for webOS if they knew there was an install base of millions right off the bat.  From what I have seen webOS is already substantially better than Android.




And people keep wondering why Apple is on top in these markets.  Maybe it's because they have a clue about how they work?
