What If Apps Weren’t the Reason

So, HP makes the surprise announcement last week that they will no longer be selling webOS devices. That means no more of the Pre, Pixi, or Veer smartphones or the recently released TouchPad. And then, in one of the more shocking moves to me, it seemed that there was a bit of a fire sale for TouchPads. As of Friday night and Saturday morning, I was reading reports of people getting TouchPads for $99 and $150. That caused folks to jump for the TouchPad where it wasn’t as nice a purchase at $350 and higher.
