HP greatest marketing ever? - WebOS Software and Hacking General

If i am reading this right, does this mean HP just pulled of the greatest marketing in history?
http://www.hp.com/united-states/webos/us/en/tablet/touchpad-availability-business.html

Obviously it was not staged. HP stock dropped to its lowest in decades. That alone cost shareholders tons of money. Along with the deppretiation of its stock, it tarnished its reputation.

You're reading it wrong.
HP would get sued into oblivion by shareholders if this was all a marketing stunt.

But they now have a pretty big chunk of the market, what if they just make a cap to off Apps? Major app devs now have to pay attention if they stay with it now

Actually that would be LG not HTC, which by the way apple is still using a LG touch screen.. So how exactly do they have a patent on it....
Patent... Maybe? Hm imo, apple went to Steve and asked for a billion to ask Samsung, lg, sony, and sharp to use their products yet label them under the Apple name. Quite sad and pathetic waste of lives

Here's a good idea, wonder if it would work. Why don't we all get together and get a patent to prevent innovation. Then we could sue apple, as all they are doing is stifling innovation cuz they are pissed that they are losing market share to the android nation. I could care less about anyone having to pay Microsoft, I've been more partial to them over crapple my whole life. Crapple seems to think that since they are losing market share they can extinguish the Android flame by going after the manufacturers. Ironic that the main ones they are going after are their very parts suppliers. They must not have heard the old phrase, you don't bite the hand that feeds you.

Seems like Sammy is just flooding the market with everything they can. Must be some sort of corporate strategy to it rather than anything to do with the devs.
Maybe saving ICS for their most expensive devices to try to help them sell more?
I'm sure there is an ICS build for that tablet waiting and ready in the dev dept, just as I'm sure there is a stable, usable ics build for the Skyrocket that they're holding out on in the hopes of selling more Galaxy Nexuses...

Apple is the considered the top brand in the WORLD. There are literally riots to get hands on an iPhone. They just released the new iPad.... People are literally sitting in their homes with a wad of cash waiting for Apples next product to just throw their hundreds or even thousands of dollars at them.
What I'm trying to say is that Apple has achieved superior brand recognition. If you understand the life cycle of an industry then you will understand that Apple isn't going anywhere for a while. They aren't sweating, they basically created the smartphone, apps, and tablet industries. So please don't tell me they aren't innovative.
The truth is that android will never be as popular as iOS. Maybe someday sales will surpass Apple but there isn't one company that is going to be as powerful as Apple when it comes to phones or tablets.

Wrong. Apple didn't invent any of those markets, they only made them appeam to the masses. The reason apple is so successfully is that there market strategy has always been getting regular people to buy tech that otherwise only people on this forum would use.
Brand loyalty and a lack of innovation will only get u so far. People will sooner or later catch on to the fact that the price premium for specs that are always months behind current competitive flagships of other companies.
I honestly believe that yes, people will continue to use iphones, but now that their is a genuine mature competitor, the markrt will change.
Actually sale of android devices have surpassed apple at times and they innovate nothing anymore they lead on a name alone and people to afraid or stuck in their own ways to try something new I pad 3 bigger resolution and better graphics processing that's your third Gen update cool.... please

Possibly this will slow apple down with their ridiculous patent suits
the judge is biased...
she blocked out the one evidence that's really important because apparently samsung submitted it too late(despite the fact that it was submitted it pre-trial)
introducing the samsung F700
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_f700-1849.php
announced before iphone and looks very much alike.
if apple wins this case it will be the joke of the century, one company successfully sues another over the patent for rectangular phone...and the company suing another is a new comer to the phone market...oh america..how low have you gone

over the years what has apple actually innovated on? samsung came out with a touchscreen phone before them..it's nott heir fault hipsters won't accept anything that isnt apple
android has had everything ios didnt way before ios..
wallpapers, voice search, freedom for the user(which ios users still don't have) and more... it's because apple is around, we don't have any competition...they're suing everyone that makes a better phone then them, and you're telling me without them theres no competition?
without apple there is less competition in the lawyer space..opposite for the phone space
The whole thing is a joke. I wish apple had died along with steve jobs.

I am not a fan boy for either side.. In all honesty I like both mobile platforms. But I will be very upset if apple wins this trial.. Even though the galaxy S did look an awful lot like an iphone and the ui in the galaxy S looked like ios at first glance.. I just don't see how you can patent a rectangle or the only practical design . It's not right for apple to say that Samsung copied them when it's obvious that they both inspired each other.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
here's some gather up of stuff i know
1. samsung already had a phone that looks like galaxy s/iphone pre-trial called the F700, the judge deliberately denied it as evidence because it came too late(they submitted it before the trial, how is it too late? if this was a murder investigation, a innocent man will be sentenced to 25years in prison because the evidence that he didn't do it came in too late)
2. we're looking at two rectangles
TWO RECTANGLES...OF COURSE THEY'LL LOOK A LIKE..are you friggen kidding me..
Kinda off topic but...I took my fam to Disneland and I guess I did not notice b4 since its been 4 years since the last time I was there and I didnt knew what a phone ROM was back then....anyways, seriously, about 90% of all the people there had iphones...yes 90%...and thats including all the nationalities u see there. It got me sick knowing the grip that Apple got on the average comsumer that doesn't have the slightest idea what a ROM is. Lets face it...wer just about 3% of the smartphone users out there. Im yet to know someone out there personally that has installed a new custom ROM in their Android device. They think Im just a ****ing nerd genius from another galaxy when I try to explain what I did to mine and my wife's phone. Apple devices have always been well advertised...in commercials, tv shows, and movies...compared to any other smartphone company...way way WAY b4 smartphones for the general population became avialable to the average person. I doubt Samsung (or any other smartphone maker) will ever be able to catch up to Apple. To the average person iphone will always be the one and only smartphone out there because thx to advertisement they have been told that.

Samsung makes like 10% of their sales to Apple, so its a close relationship otherwise. Although if they grew a pair, now would be a time to "complicate" the relationship because the iPhone 5 would be quite delayed, killing their sales, and some of the fan base who are looking to upgrade soon.

10% wouldn't make a huge deal to Samsung, the best thing they could do now is hit Apple where it hurts the most: cripple their iPhone 5 production without much prior notice by not selling them parts, and we'll see who the ***** is then. I wish one of Apple's supply companies would put them in their place so they can see how dependent they are on other companies even though they keep sueing them. Apple doesn't make anything on their own as far as hardware like Sammy or Moto do, so they wouldn't get very far if others started treating them the way Apple treats others, then they'd figure out how dependent they really are. Someone's knocking on the door, I better go it's probably the Apple police looking for people that don't blindly think they're great, lol.

Of course it needs to be illegal to put cases on the phone. You putting a case on your phone affects the Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) of the device. The poor corporation has counted on that MTBF to ensure future profits for wall street shareholders (you'd replace when it breaks or buy the newer version). We can't get between the poor corporation and it's profit.

I'm surprised they haven't started a lease option for phones and then charge you based on mileage. Use the GPS to track how much the phone has traveled. Coming soon to a Verizon data plan near you!
