When HP bought Palm last year, the big smartphone players thought that they’ve got competition. Although HP made it clear that it was not interested in the smartphone business, everyone knew they were playing safe. And so the webOS powered devices hit the market like the HP TouchPad, Pre series and the veer. But all failed to satisfy consumer taste. The “cards” like interactive design in the TouchPad was good but the lethargic device response or “slowness” as it is said, justified as to why it was considered overpriced.
