If you intend to get serious about making mobile internet devices and you do not want to give up control to, say, Google then the Palm WebOS is a good bet and may prove to be a winning strategy for HP.
The trend is clear in that the web application model is evolving by the minute. There is a huge amount of activity going on in W3C and in the buzzing communities around on the web.
With the WebOS, HP is very well positioned in this landscape. Not only do they get a web savvy architecture built from the ground up to cater for performant web applications they also have a very powerful developer environment in Ares 1.0.
I think this was a good buy for HP and I think it will only help to speed up the evolution of the web platform.
