Slave to the Green Robot
If the rumors are true, I'd like to shout from the roof tops "Sprint! What are you thinking!" They introduce the WebOS platform, don't wait to give it a chance to take hold in a dominated by Apple market, and then decide it was a waste? I hope the rumors are incorrect. I like the droid, but it feels so... yesterday. Seriously, a back button 30 times to exit an app? How about that awesome implementation of multi-tasking in Android. Apple's implementation of multi-tasking may be a farce, but at least the device flow is better.
WebOS isn't the only great platform on the horizon. Has anyone truly checked out Windows Phone? Let me re-phrase; has anyone used Windows Phone, and switched back to their previously used platform?

HP's Release Schedule
I'm not sure why HP feels it's OK to announce a release so long before the devices actually hit the market, but you'd think they'd learn their lesson from Palm's 6 month PRE release.
The hardware announced really does look interesting, but I wonder if it will carry the same intrigue in June. When you're blazing new trails, or creating a new market space (the iPad, iPhone rev.1, etc), it's OK to leave the audience in eager anticipation. Palm/HP (or should I just say HP) is fighting an uphill battle. Time is of the essence.
