I own two TouchPads, and I totally agree that how HP killed Palm was stupid. However, in Palm case, from what I read, the company was running out of cash and options when HP bought them. Let's face it's not like the Pre was selling in large numbers, and they were on nobody's network. So, I feel it's more that without HP the death would have been much quicker, and that the Touchpad showed promises on how it could have been resuscitated.
