I think only few are interested in this product. Mahirap talaga talunin ang Apple. Their Ipad is great.

Bugok! Hindi iPad ang lumamon sa webOS kundi Android! Parang may low pressure area diyan sa ulo mo ah. Lakas ng hangin!

i agree with bugok. android market ang nagpabagsak sa hp coz android also got the pang masa target market.

i’m both an android & ios user pero according to analysts “Apple singlehandedly knocked HP out of the PC, smartphone and tablet business,”Â

alam nyo ba na ang galit na galit sa apple product ay yun mga hindi makabili?

alam nyo ba na ang galit na galit sa mga apple fanbois ay mga hindi pa nakakagamit ng apple product at nakatry lang or nakahiram lang at meron na kaagad na overall judgement?

alam nyo ba na galit na galit ang mahihirap sa mayayaman dahil… dahil… hindi nila alam – akala nila mayayaman ang reason kaya sila mahirap hehehe

yan alam nyo na.

Ang mga taong galit sa Apple yung hindi makabili? LOL

Have you ever stopped and think na there are a lot of disgruntled Apple users. I was once hooked on this device. Now I saw the light it’s nothing but overrated products. My friend just bought a very expensive Mac Book Pro … now he is regretting every sluggish bout with this shitty device

iPad gave it some tough competition… but kill it — I don’t think so.

There 2 major factors that killed it.

Short-sighted executives who did not gave it a chance. Itook Android 2 years to beat iOs phones. Windows phone is still struggling but at least MS is committed. Aside from that they don’t have much financial power to stay in the game for the long haul.

–Microsoft– with Windows 8 around the Corner– one variant will run a full OS that can run desktop application (optimized, unlike windows 7). HO and MS are long time partners. And HP devices are know for their MS OS. They feel that the MS package comes complete with ecosystem and tech updates and all

to each his own. i am an android user myself and to be honest i really like most of its functionality specially the widgets and notification system which the latter will soon be available with iOS 5. a copy i know, but heck if it works, then do it.

apple’s app execution is just way better, at least with their iphones and ipads and when jailbroken, opens up a whole lot of possibilities.

i have 3 windows 7 laptops (not netbooks. for my wife, my daughter, and myself). i have a samsung galaxy s running gingerbread, my wife has an iphone 4, my daughter an ipod touch 4th gen with all the apps i want for her. i haven’t purchased a single macbook. I know what i’m talking about.

again, to each his own. if it works for you then stick to that but i’m definitely replacing my android phone with something else

@Kungsabagay: hahaha.. at hindi ko mapigilan tumawa.. rofl..

I had my iPhone 4 for 2 years now.. my first after decades of Nokia’s and Sony Ericsson’s… and I got a Samsung Galaxy S2 during it’s launch here..

Seriously.. both have flaws..

iOS’ too limiting software environment and heck the iPhone is such an introvert, it doesn’t share a lot of compatibility with some smartphones .. & that’s just naming a few but every tiny feature that Apple promised.. they delivered.. plus iOS is a pretty reliable platform.. I’ll recommend it even to corporate users if they do have a choice aside from BB.. ( I work for a global payroll company and we do have a mobile payroll app that runs on iOS)

For Android, It’s been getting some bug issues or rather a virus with some of the apps.. that’s why I haven’t rooted it with custom roms, I can’t track my phone using SamsungDive while Apple’s Me.com is working perfectly well each and everytime.. But the Galaxy S2 is so fast.. I already have HSPA+ signals in Eastwood and Cubao area.. some in Makati.. and the fact I can play divX movies and other video files without converting it is such joy.. lol..

So to each his own nga naman as per @Kungsabagay..

Regarding HP’s move..

I used to work for Dell computers and my sister still works for HP laptop support… we talked about this news and we both agreed it’s HP’s CEO Apotheker choice to follow IBM’s steps.. He did worked for SAP AG.. kaya forte niya ang Business Software Solutions..

Going back to the iOS and Android supremacy discussion.. I’m satisfied with both.. it all depends on your cup of tea..sa susunod nga lang.. before mag post ng mga di masyadong napagisipang post.. eh.. make sure you have enough background sa subject… like @Kungsabagay may extensive use naman na when it comes to these two platforms.. bago mag react.. it just looks stupid when you’re very opinionated but not well informed..

Paano mo naman nasabi na bumili nito si Abe? For what I know, he gets these gadgets for reviews then returns them afterwards..

And in relation to the topic, HP really gambled on this one. They even bought Palm! Poor decision.

ano na mangyayari sa mga nakabili ng mga gadgets nila at gumagamit ng webos?

support will still be given to those devices. We still even cater technical and manufacturing support to our legacy devices [e.g. palm treo, centro]… only the manufacturing has been halted to further consolidate our resources to our new project…

dont you think it’s also because HP is one of microsoft’s biggest partners and HP coming up with their own OS was a littl slap on the butt on their long-standing partnership since way back when?

I’m not really sure, I have nothing to back this up but it could be a possibility.

HP bought WebOS from Palm.
lilboyblue says:

14 years ago

i know that lol.

what i’m getting at is that HP laptops, pc rigs, etc have been carrying Windows OS for a very long time now, and HP not putting a windows OS in their tablet might have ticked off microsoft a bit.

Again, i’m just speculating. hehe
sylv3rblade says:

Unlikely. They just bought an enterprise software company and will likely focus their efforts in that space. If you read other sources, some are indicating that HP is contemplating dropping their PC business (laptops, desktop, tablets, etc) altogether.

ooooohhhhh. now that’s very interesting. I haven’t been able to update myself lately with what’s happening. Thanks for the info.

Looking forward to seeing how things develop for these big players.
