I agree - I was developer for webos and I told them repeatedly that they needed to be very aggressive to get their foot in the door. It fell on deaf ears. The exclusive deal with one mediocre phone when they started with Sprint was the beginning of their undoing. Android was brand new and only at T-mobile. If Palm had flooded the carriers with devices they may have been sitting where Google is right now
