To analyze a situation like this, one must go back to a philosophy against the current and lapsed that Palm now owned by HP wanted to keep mistakenly especially as far as hardware is concerned.
Kept below market specifications for your smartphone models and insisting on the physical keyboard was a big mistake and it was worse launched with a price equal to better hardware out there in the market.
Smart phones are now dual-core with 8 mpxls for your digital camera, front camera for video calls, and more storage capacity with micro sd cards.
All of your competition using virtual keyboard for a long time ago since the beginning era iphone multi-touch. (Check specifications Samsung Galaxy II and iPhone5 to come in October 2011)
A novelty would be to launch a multi-core smartphone before anyone else.
As for the touchpad as the plastic cover was not his best ally.
While the technology of wireless recharging of the TouchPad is very attractive but not for most users, the same for the Touch to share option.
In a short survey that I conducted in my country about these two excellent differentiations of the TouchPad compared to other tablets, the majority seemed it as an interesting technology but they said it was not important to them, implying that they preferred a thinner tablet not fat and lightweight with rear digital camera and to do what do all the tablets do with their operating system, like internet surfing, reading digital books, read and answer their emails, view and make videos, take office, shop and listen to music, take pictures, video calling, Micro SD and that is it. They were not interested in wireless charging technologies and in the Touch to share, at this time.
The operating system webOS is the world's best for mobile, but with the right hardware, perhaps aluminum or copper box or other new material that makes it light and thin and at a price below the iPad and the competition .
I recommend you read an article I wrote before
I frankly disagree it's the hardware. Granted it could have been better and you make many valid point. Pre 3 show HP (Palm) was on their way to improving the hardware. But to me it was the software! I don't mind not have a bunch of games or pointless apps, but the lack of free Google-like turn by turn is maddening. Other software apps: Google Goggles, Google Sky, and Bar Code Scanner. I know there are webOS alternatives... just say'n
