HP CEO: "We didn't buy Palm to be in the smartphone business" -- Engadget

Looks like more Pre owners might be making the switch now.

Right message.

Well that sucks but I was going to jump to an android anyway. The Evo just pushed me over the edge. They really should look into developing a smartphone. They have WebOS and just need a strong hardware team to put it all into place.

Yeah, with the Evo on Friday and then the iPhone announcement Monday, it's almost like HP is asking current Pre owners to throw their Pres in the trash. The initial outrage alone this close to the Evo launch will probably be enough to switch many of the Palm faithful. Should be interesting Friday as I try to buy an Evo at full price.

Yeah I was just saying earlier to how I would probably move back to WebOS in the event that a Pre2 came out. So this definetly sucks. As always...more competition is better for consumers.

They bought Palm for WebOS so they can use it on the Tablet device.
