Hewlett Packard, the world's largest PC maker, has announced plans to spin off its PC business and scrap its recently acquired webOS smartphone and tablet business to focus on software and services.

I agree. The Palm curse came over to HP in the deal. But there is a chance WebOS might live on through a different company, though. At least that's what I hope. It would be sweet to see HTC pick it up.
I just came up with a theory of why HP is stopping WebOS. I believe it in part might have something to do with Apple's patent litigation of late. I don't think HP wants to get involved with it or crossways with Apple over it since WebOS wasn't making any money. I also believe officials at Apple might have contacted HP and gave them fair warning about patent litigation.
Not so sure about that. Palm has a pretty valuable patent portfolio from their early days as smartphone makers. I remember when webOS was announced(early 09 before Android took off) with pinch to zoom, bounce scrolling etc and it was thought that Apple would sue. They eventually backed off though possibly due to Palm's position.
I really think it's a management problem. The CEO of HP has expressed an interest in moving the company to a services only business, and I don't think they're willing to put in the money/effort to manufacture and market webOS. Darn shame
All in favour of Google picking it up and implementing Cards and Synergy into Android?
Yes, please!
i like webos
Such a shame.
I've never used webos but heard good things.. I am really suprised they are getting out of pc's though, seeing as they bought compaq a few years back,and they are one of the more popular brands...
well, many companies are backing out of the pc market because they are under this false notion that tablets are replacing them, and that "no one wants a pc anymore" which is total bull.
and i was looking foward to the pre3, a damn shame.
oh, the touchpad broke the record for shortest lifespan of a product previously held by the Kin.
Who agrees that apple lawsuits against Samsung or HTC ain't going to make you purchase an iOS device? Who agrees apple's stupidity thinks that the basic shape and functionality of an smartphone violates the design of an iPhone?
*Don't get me wrong, I like iOS devices too but only iPad X
I've never supported proprietary technology for it puts a stop to innovation. So I hope apple doesn't get its way through lawsuits.
Apple isn't trying to make you purchase an iPhone, they're simply defending their IP. Fact is Android violates a slew of Apple and MS patents which is why Android OEMs are facing legal troubles. Samsung is the worst offender,because their products are obvious Apple rip offs, they even copied the 30 pin cable and AC adapter for god's sake!

Apple break patents. So much so that a german court ruled apple products were pulled from stores recently.
And they don't just defend their legit patents...they have been found in at least four court cases to have patents they defended that turned out they did not invent at all. Google apple patent prior art if you are curious about more details.
And as for copying well you do know iphone actually copied lg prada so apple saying others can't use similar looking designs is essentially the pot calling the kettle black.
Apple steals ideas and sometimes patents them, for example they didn't invent touchscreen but they have the patent for it.
All businesses borrow some ideas.

For some reason, Apple just rubs me the wrong way. Which is why, in a week or so when I can upgrade, I'm going straight to a Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Apple didn't patent the touchscreen, you might be thinking about multitouch that Apple acquired by purchasing a little known company called Fingerworks.

You seem quite confused in alot of your arguments. Did you hear about the multitouch ruling in Germany last week? German courts decided the patent was invalid because the technology existed before the patent was filed for. You can't patent technology that already exists...and I don't think Apple realized that 5 years ago. You say Samsung steals the most...you do realize that 90% of apple components (including its processors) are made by Samsung right? And you do know that Apple lost a ruling this week against motorola and had to pull Ipads and Iphones in Germany? And if Motorola wants to push the ruling of another patent, German users will not be able to receive notifications when they receive an email...
In the end, none of this is good. All it means is companies having to pay for licenses to use the patents which in turn raises the price of each handset produced which means more money out of our pockets...shame on them.

I can understand copyrighting the proprietary 30 pin connector Apple uses, but that doesn't mean anything similar is breaking the law. Apple acts like they invented all parallel data transfer cables. Apple has some nerve trying to sue Samsung who makes internal components for the iPhone.
Microsoft bundles IE with Windows in the late 90s and they are labeled a monopoly trying to kill off other browsers. Apple sues anybody who tries to market a competitive product and nobody cares. Most Apple fans hate the late 90s Microsoft, yet the modern day Apple is just as bad.
yeah. I won't buy an iPhone. They're too much to those things.
They doesn't respect technology.
Imagine what we would all be driving if a hundred years ago Mercedes was allowed to patent the conventional car layout that we all use today...the fault lies with the patent offices that granted such broad brush patents in the first place....maybe they all got free iPhones.

I personally don't like Apple products: they're overpriced, designed for planned obsolescence, dislike the marketing campaign behind them, but I have to admit that when I use an Apple iPad, iPhone, etc, you can definitely tell there's a difference in the feel and experience that an Apple product gives you that Android just doesn't have. Why is this? Does Apple just use better hardware, screens, graphic processors, etc?
Let me know your thoughts.

Well, considering that Samsung(the S10+ actually has superior hardware and screen compared to Apple) makes parts for Apple........
Add to that the fact that android treats you like an administrator and iOS treats you like a user. Freedom vs being in a cage, having control of what you use instead of being forced to use what someone else decides for you to use.
It probably won't be too many years from now that Apple will cut their own throat somehow and lose the market due to Apple's tendency to not be compatible with anything except other Apple products.
They did this in the 80s-90s in their early days of making computers, they ended up falling behind then IBM and IBM compatible systems took over because it was like PCs today, the hardware pretty much works with everything in a mostly universal/interchangeable manner. This is similar to how android is more cross compatible with other hardware in a somewhat universal/interchangeable manner than Apple/iOS products are.
The gap has recently started to open between iOS and android with android starting to pull ahead. 80% of the world predominantly uses android, only the US uses a large percentage of Apple devices. I'm beginning to see people that have faithfully used Apple for 10 years switching to android.
Give it a few more years, things will begin to change more swiftly because Apple tends to rigidly stick to playing their own game. The last few phones they released didn't really change much of anything compared to previous models and they tend to take away features that a lot of their uses depend on, such as headphone jack, expandable storage slot, etc...

Yes but even years before this, I noticed that Apple iOS devices still had an edge on Android. I've always used Android and but a lot of my friends are diehard Apple users and they'll pay a premium for it. And I'm sure that the reason for it is the user interface is more engaging. I'm still wondering why Android can't offer this.
Hi all,
Since the release of the new Apple 13 (Pro) device, the main question is: do the new features of this new Apple iPhone justify to upgrade from an Apple 11 or Apple 12? In a lot of reviews the new Apple 13 is mainly seen as an/compared to the Apple 12S with minor added features. What are the new features of the new iPhone 13 (Pro)?
1. Better camera's compared to it's predecessors
2. More storage
3. A bit faster processor
4. Faster loading and a bit greater battery
But the question still remains, is it worth to upgrade?
IMPO, this is not the case when you own, as I do, the Apple Pro 12 Max. It's only worth to upgrade when you are a die-hard photographer. Then you will enjoy and appreciate the added new features in the Apple iPhone 13, which are somewhat disappointing regarding the costs. Also the update from iOS 14.8 to iOS 15 do not lead to big improvements, which is Apple unworthy unfortunately. Also the use of the lightning cable has become obsolete as of today. Apple has to switch to the, at this very moment, generally accepted USB C cable. A severe omission. What are your experciences and considerations to buy the new Apple iPhone? Am I right or wrong?
kindest regards, kuzibri
Whether the iPhone are pricey or not, totally depends on what weights more on your value scale.
iPhone is simple, easy to use (ridiculously easy), and very powerful in many aspects.
Apple managed to benefit from this combination.
Of course there's a lot of cons and pros, but there's something you need to know, if you were to buy a phone from Apple, Apple has one line of phones, and they are the company's flagship products.
You know how much flagship devices cost, the difference lays in what each OS offers. I personally don't like Apple products. So much underestimates.
I also disliked Apple products due to their stuberness to let us choose our own home display, etc. I acknowledged though that they made beautiful devices (my wife is an Apple addict). But at a certain moment, Apple released the watch 6 of which I was stunned by it's possibilities compared to the Fitbit Versa 2. I relealized that when I wanted to buy this watch, I also needed to buy an iPhone. Not so an interesting idea, UNTILL Apple released iOS 14.5, with which it was possible to achieve what I wanted, e.g. compose my own home display. This was the moment to make the switch for me and after one year now, I totally do not miss Android at all. Using the Apple now, I noticed a few things in comparison with Android: 1. It never crashes, 2. Updates, in contrast to Android, are not only on a very regular basis, but devices are also supported for a long time. Now iOS 15 is released, which still works on an iPhone 6S. This is not the case with the support of any of the Android devices. Besides that, altough the iPhones are not cheap, the Samsung top devices are also vey expensive. My home display is now exactly the same as I had on my Android devices. Regards kuzibri
I picked up my second new Note 10+, 256gb, 12gb ram for $800 a week ago.
Anything without a SD card slot is dead to me.
A dual drive 1.25tb handheld PC... hell yeah.
Apples run very good, are very easy to use, and bore me to tears. I loathe them; they are overpriced and use CCP sweat cities to manufacture them. The bright icons and pastels drive me insane; Debbie would love them.
Samsung's are the most customizable stock phones on the planet. Unfortunately the 10+ and Android 10 were Samsung's and Android's best releases to date respectively. Which is why I went with a 2nd 10+, sad but true.
It's ok because even after 2 years the 10+ is just plain fun to use; fast, stable, excellent build Q with one of the best displays there is even today. No high refresh rates but better color rendering than even some newer flagship phones. The display has perfectly square corners, none of that horrible CRT roundness here. 7mm thick, even in a good case it's thin. Pics don't do it justice. The spen nests until needed as a remote shutter release or for Smart Capture which is great to have.
No way I would upgrade the Apple, but I'm extremely biased and hate pastels

Hi, very glad that I finally stirred up the discussion between Android and Apple users. As already mentioned, used to be a very satisfied Android user, but since Apple introduced the iOS 14, there is no difference anymore between an Android and Apple device. You're now able to make your own Home Screen, just like in Android. And let's be honest, which company gives updates so long to old devices as Apple. The most recent Apple iOS is 15 and runs on an Apple 6S. No Android device supports that long their devices. All in all, I do agree with earlier responders that Apple used to be boring, but that is now just ancient history since the release of iOS 14.5 and certainly now iOS15. Best regards, kuzibri
I haven't played with an Apple in 6 years... so there's that. That icon pack burns my eyes and display out though. Apple is going in unsavory directions on multiple fronts now. No SD card support alone though blows them out of the water.
As for updates once I have firmware that's fast, stable and fulfilling it's mission I leave it be. I rarely update and rarely have issues, that's not a coincidence. I may update my older 10+ running on 9 to 10, the same as the new one but that will be the last update.
Security simply isn't an issue. My current way outdated load is 16 months old, still fast and stable. No breaches.
All my critical data is redundantly backed up, a forced reload is the worst that could happen. Down time 2 hours, 6 if I need to repopulate the SD card. Any major firmware upgrade would cause far more downtime and worse could permanently degrade performance or capabilities.
I see no real advantage to updating an old device with a bloated OS it's hardware wasn't designed to handle. OS's tend to get larger, not smaller and are designed/optimized with the current hardware in use. So that 3, 5 whatever years support doesn't impress me in the least.
Tough choices if you are even considering one platform let alone two. I probably would wait to latter in 2022, even 2023. My next new purchase will be probably 2023 or latter. This year is a bust for Samsung and likely 2022. Apple may or may not be faring as badly, but there are supply chain issues worldwide. China is also having power infrastructure issues as well as a growing political storm both of their own making. I expect especially the latter to grow worse not better in the next 3 years.

I don't mean to be rude, I'm sorry, but .. do you really want to compare the customisation level between Apple & Android?
Apple is never close to a customisable OS, it has always been late to the party. Not just the home screen, there's a lot of features took it years to implement, though they were on Android for a long.
I used iPhone 11 Pro Max for about a week. I don't know, but I never got relieved about it. Leaving all the customisation behind, and step into a kindergarten?
One thing I hated was Apple's underestimation, they act & think on your behalf. If they thought a regular user don't need to manage files, they'll not integrate any support for file manager.
That's exactly how their security system works, if they thought something can risk the device, they don't build a firewall, they just eliminate the target. A very good example is the recent Visa payment hacking issue, where a warning was sent to remove the Visa as a payment method.
I see this very ridiculous, it gets the job done, but in a non-professional way.
In the other hand, Android does not think on your behalf, it gives you what an iPhone lacks, an option. A vast range of options, and if something doesn't suit you, you can change it. Or simply, build it.
I think I may use an iPhone when I'm dying or something. At least I won't have anything else to do but socialising.
Hi, "@Mohamedkam000: do you really want to compare the customisation level between Apple & Android?". No that is not my purpose. My point is that untill recentrly there were two incompatible worlds, e.g. the Android world vs the Apple one. Now, due to the the release of iOs 14.5 Apple offers somewhat more possibilities to customize your device. Untill recently I belonged to the Android world and my motto was always "Apple is for dummies", although I was also always under the impression of the build quality of the devices, which is beyond doubt. Since it's possible to customize your iPhone, it has become easier, certainly if you just like me want the Apple watch but not the iPhone, to make the switch to Apple. There is now more or less an "in-between" world. That's my point, no more or less. Kind regards, kuzibri
BTW: let's be honest, the best OS for mobile devices that even existed was Windows Mobile, which was as versatile as it could be. I owned an HTC HD2 with windows mobile, android and apple on one phone and all working perfect.

I don't think you ever tried custom ROMs on Android phones. CyanogenMod? What about MIUI custom ROMs of 2014? How about the famous LineageOS?
Okay let go of the systems, how about Xposed? Ever used it? Ever used Dr. Ketan's ROMs? I'm asking to see if you had any experience in deep customisation.
Okay, do you know that you can change the home screen launcher on Android? You can change icons? You can use themes? Not just a wallpaper, a full theme.
If you know that, I wonder how can you even think about saying the iPhone is comparable to the customisation level on Android.

The company does literally acknowledge this phrase. And they are right to assume that. But, they are profiting from their right assumption.
Apple treats people like babies, people don't need the complications of programming and themes and customisation and other stuff. People just need to pay and use the limited things Apple offers.

Safety features like Fall Detection, Emergency SOS, and high and low heart rate notifications make Apple Watch great for older family members, even if they don't own an iPhone.
Calling, texting, and location sharing provide an easy way to stay connected with the family. Where I live, no one cares about smart watches, so I can't speak about it.
One last thing:-
iPhone has been released earlier than Android, it was revolutionary back then, and as you know, first impressions has a very huge impact on the customer's preference.
I have a relative that is using an iPhone for appearances, but his actual primary phone is an Android. It simply helps him a lot in his work, for he don't need a laptop to manage files or something.

Unless Apple changes its ecosystem of which it does not allow its devices to work well with other rival products, there's no way the two worlds could join.
Hi @Mohamedkam000 , regarding this "Unless Apple changes its ecosystem of which it does not allow its devices to work well with other rival products, there's no way the two worlds could join." If we're holding on to these points of view, indeed the two worlds will never join. It's a matter of giving and taking. F.i. you ask Apple to change their ecosystem in order to work well with each other. But, what do yo have in return for Apple? That's the main problem for this dead end. As I see it, Apple has a lot of knowledge about securing the privacy of their users, while Android suffers once and a while from mal/ransomware due to the opensource of the OS. See what I mean?

iPhone is safer than Android, but not more secure. For a device that receives so many patches for vulnerabilities, it doesn't seem to be better than Android.
I mean .. I've never heard of an essay alerting Android users to remove their Visa from the device. Android does fix the vulnerability. Apple does remove the reason the vulnerability is their in the first place.
Android is used by many, many people around the world, it is a very attractive target for hackers, of course it'll get some attacks. But, most of them does exploit the negligence of the phone owner. Like the latest report of malware-infected apps.
Example: Samsung has allowed iOS devices to connect to her Watch products for a long, maybe sometimes there's some missing features, but that's because it is created for Samsung devices.
On the other hand, Apple smartwatch does not allow any Android device to pair with it, it simply refuses to pair. If it was really a give-and-take, then Apple will take and not give.

I thought we were talking about what is official, and what can be done without using back-door. Hacks happen due to an existing restriction, iPhone does not need to hack anything to connect to Samsung Watch, it is allowed to. Sometimes with limited features, and you know why.
I know there is Jailbreak on iPhone, too. But have you thought about the word itself? Jail? Break? iPhone is a Jail? Like .. I've never seen a company that makes choices on behalf of their customers like Apple do. It'll probably take them years to, for example, add another user-prefered customisation features.

I just replied to your remark that Apple does not allow to pair with Android Smartwatches at all, no more or less. The only Smartwatch I know that supports both Android and, in a bit minor fashion, Apple's iOS, are the Fitbit devices due to their own Fitbit OS. Maybe in the near future Google Smartwatches are able of paring to Apple due to the fact that Google bought Fitbit.
Depending on what factors more heavily on your value scale, you can decide whether the iPhone is expensive or not. The iPhone is straightforward, really simple to operate, and extremely powerful in many ways. Apple was successful in gaining from this combo.
