Ouch, HP discontinues webOS devices TouchPad and webOS phones --

Sad and shocking news especially in light of my recent article, see March 2011 post.  Last week I was at the Sprint store to check if there was going to be a Pre 3 in US soon.  Ironically, I looked at the Android devices and settled on the Epic as an alternative.  

Yet I'm still in a jaw-dropped state of mind.  It reminds me of IBM's decision a couple of decades ago when OS2 went down even though it was much superior to Windows.  

If there's a take away -- the best software doesn't always win.  I wonder why....
