HP shuts down WebOS.

Some people think it was unexpected, but here's the deal: a new CEO (Leo Apotheker) is always given the leeway to make his own statement and get rid of the old guard.

Still, you gotta wonder:

• Why did they bother to release a Pre 3 phone, right?
• Why completely cut it off, when it means having to revamp much of your printers?
• Why did they introduce a 4G TouchPad just last week?
• Why did they introduce a 64GB TouchPad the same morning he axed WebOS products?

He literally sliced the value of all their products effective immediately.
