You may be right. However, HP spent a truckload of money because they thought WebOS was worth it. Why do you call it dying? I agree in terms of market share but not in terms of development interest or capability. And while I agree their consumer PC's are weak sauce their commercial grade products are the bees knees (as I'm typing this on an HP EliteBook, lol). I think you're ruling out success too early.

Same as I'd now give Nokia, the world's largest cell phone maker, a chance to see what they can do with Microsoft's WP7. Even though Nokia failed miserably to promote their own smart phones (sounds familiar, in that Palm also failed and we'll see what HP can do with it).
