I wonder if they plan on offering refunds to Deadpad buyers
At best they might offer a trade-in credit, but I wouldn't hold my breath for any type of refund.

See if a SGS2 LTE is announced next Friday. Otherwise, the Bionic releases in a month.I guess I can stop waiting on the Pre 3. I am eligible for a new phone at Verizon, so I better start researching LTE Android phones. Any advice?
LOL there are STILL people in the PreCentral forums holding out hope and suggesting that this isn't bad news even after reading the press releases about HP killing off webOS devices.
Uncle Leo could go and shoot them in the face with a shotgun and they still wouldn't get a reality clue.
After looking at what his face's tweet, it looks like they want to sell off WebOS, not license it.
GoGo Samsung or HTC...

Anyone who believes anything a Palm/HP exec says about webOS at this point has to be mentally ill.
http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/press/2011/110310c.htmlHP Dismisses Rumors Regarding Its PC Business ... Bill Wohl, HP senior vice president and chief communications officer: "Irresponsible reporting by Taiwan's Commercial Times, suggesting that HP might sell its PC business, should be dismissed as market rumor and speculation. HP runs the world's largest PC business and it is core to HP’s strategy for the connected world..."
Anyone who believes anything positive a Palm/HP exec says about webOS at this point has to be mentally ill. They're still dangling carrots to keep people who bought the hardware from completely revolting, just like they've been doing for years now.
Why would anyone want to just license it though? That means HP remains in charge of development; what does that get you exactly? And if you're HP you have all the costs of developing the OS but none of the profit from selling finished devices.Looks like the plan is for HP to license WebOS.

This makes sense to me, I can see it being an awesome OS with a bit of tweaking.
ARGHHHHHHHHHH!
(shakes fist at HP)
REALLY makes me wish someone that knows what they're doing had bought Palm. Ridiculous. A nice FU to the people that picked up a Touchpad in the past couple weeks on sale.
When HP bought Palm, Palm was literally doing nothing. They were not developing jack.

Nothing short of a sale makes sense for anyone in the industry.
Exactly. Someone's gonna buy Palm/WebOS for its IP and patents like it shoud've happened a year ago. (probably Apple, Google, MS, HTC or Samsung)
...and the casualties start to mount in the tablet wars.
I had a hunch that HP/WebOS was doomed, but even I didn't think it would die this quickly.
I can't decide if Windows Mobile or BlackBerry's new tablet OS will be the next one to go belly up.... but I'm sure that one of them will fail in the next few years.
