    WebOS was amazing. I was convinced it was the future of mobile computing. iOS was completely proprietary and Android was a dumpster fire. But HP was the worst buyer imaginable. It’s such a shame. What could have been?

      I had a similarly high opinion on Meego’s future at Nokia and then they suddenly went all-in on Windows Phone.

      I also had a somewhat high opinion of Windows Phone before MS killed it.

      No one wants to maintain an OS for any less than like 25% of the market — which pretty much only leaves room for Abdroid and iOS… and KaiOS I guess, though I don’t know how much effort the put into maintaining that. webOS and Tizen (resting place of Meego) are now pretty much only in TVs.
