Palm had some good ideas, late to the game they owned in the early 2000's and fell asleep on. Dude's trying to make it sound like they brought the future to the world. Don't get all sassy because a couple people picked one or two things off your dead OS's corpse.

Yup... This is from a guy that ran the company that had the best OS and could have made it huge... They just kept going as they did the for the previous 7-8 years, futzing around with cheap, lousy hardware and couldn't figure out why people didn't like sending their phones in 4-5x for repair. Palms hardware engineering was a joke... Believe me, I know, I worked there. It was an absolute sham. Then on top of it, they farm out the poor hw design to manufacturing using the the absolute rock bottom lowest bidder (Mostly Inventec and HTC)

Gee, why doesnt anyone want to buy it? Why dont carriers want to sell it? The OS is so great!

My introduction to Palm was with the Centro (I know..., I know..), but it was head-and-shoulders above its contemporary competition.

I continued with them when they realease the Pixi, which I think had the best form factor (the Pre's keyboard slider was so shoddy) but worst performance. Even as sluggish as it was, it was still a much better experience than what's on offer now.

But, yeah, webOS is still the best mobile operating system, even after all the "modern" updates to Android and iOS.

I think they were just too small a company to compete with MS, Google, and Apple.
