What could have been

2012-03-14

I just read a brief article over at webOS Nation about the original plan for Palm after it was purchased by HP - basically HP were going to throw a bit of money Palm's way but otherwise leave the cash strapped company to run itself for three years to try and get into a competitive position. But one year into this plan Mark Hurd (the CEO in charge when HP purchased Palm) was out and Leo Apotheker was in and canned the whole thing.

I can't help but wonder where Palm/webOS would be today, what devices we would be using if only HP had stuck to the plan.
