H-Palm

HP announced it was buying Palm today. Engadget has a live blog transcript for the conference call:

This is good news for me as I really liked the webOS and it keeps Palm competitive with Android, iPhone/iPad and the upcoming new Windows 7 Phone OS. There is speculation that HP will develop tablet products using webOS ala iPad but we'll see.

Maybe we'll see iPaq hardware running webOS in the very near future.
