Okay HP, Let?s Make Some Lemonade

This morning, HP admitted failure. After spending $1.2 billion to acquire Palm, they announced that they were killing off the development of all smartphones and tablets running Palm's webOS platform ? including the just launched TouchPad. Having survived for just 49 days before its death, it's tragic that TouchPad lived just one day longer than the oft-mocked Microsoft Kin. webOS itself, as a platform, isn't entirely dead. HP says they'll "continue to explore options to optimize the value of webOS", which is really just a fancy way of saying "Yeah, we're still not entirely sure what the hell we're going to do with this thing." There's a way out here, HP ? and it's all thanks to Google's acquisition of Motorola.
