I have never had anything but trouble with HP drivers on the Mac. The GUI on the Mac doesn't conform to anything close to Mac guidelines, and is utterly confusing. The printers themselves seem reliable, but the software will prevent me from ever buying another HP printer. -- Peter Peter M. Bri

Hi Andre, Reminds me of a few other failed hardware/software ventures, which you were way too young, or not even born to remember... There was Philips CD-I, which by all accounts was a superb platform but they killed it because they wanted over $10K for a developer license so-- no developers sign

Chipp, They priced the TouchPad to high and released it with a poor version of WebOS. Had they released it with a better pricing and WebOS 3.0.2, things would be better... Also killing it after 48 days is a bit too much. Meanwhile they tricked all of us, loyal palm developers. They promissed thing

They killed it because it just wasn't moving-- even a little bit. Sales were so bad HP decided it wasn't worth pouring more marketing and R&D dollars into a commodity product market. Most of the $99 and $149 models were snatched up immediately-- with folks expecting to convert them to Android.
