The whole argument about how HP has scale and all doesn't seem to matter when I see lag on my Touchpad, and even less so when I'm trying to show people how elegant multitasking is. Adding to that, if 'scale' means pushing webOS through every possible distribution channel within your reach, regardless of how laggy or 'not quite there yet' it is, it's still going to result in a cruddy user experience and thus more webOS haters.
HP employees, sure, but how does this give webOS developers any idea or confidence about the platform's future? It's all sterile, non-committal corporate speak. Yes, they are going to keep building it, but I'll be damned if I can figure out in what direction.
