Probably. It may suffer the same fate as the BeOS.

On the other hand it has HPs weight behind it, and a very bright guy running the OS side. I personally think it's visionary.

The problem with a small device OS is each device is different. That's really where an integrated approach like Apples works better. It's worth it.

Think 5 devices with 5 OSs vs 5 devices with one OS adopted to work especially well over the net.

It's a really bold/brave strategy for HP and they are the perfect company to pull it off since they have enterprise/multiple OS experience and tons of small device experience. I can't think of many companies that would have the same advantages in an attempted OS switch over as HP.

I'd like to see them succeed just so there would be more good choices out there.
