The simple fact of having dumped the old CEO could at least lend a bit of credibility to reversing course on WebOS. Not a lot, to be sure, but definitely a nonzero amount, unlike the present state of WebOS.
This is such a shame. I got a touchpad in the fire sale and they really did a decent job on that thing. I would put it ahead of android but slightly behind iOS. Although I personally don't care too much which OS I end up with, it's clear that a lot of good work went into this.
