Microsoft begins courting webOS developers

Using the current demise of webOS to attract some attention, Brandon Watson (the person “responsible for apps/developers on Windows Phone”) has taken to Twitter in an attempt to convert some developers over to Windows Phone. To Any Published WebOS Devs: We’ll give you what you need to be successful on #WindowsPhone, incl.free phones, dev tools, and training, etc. That being said, while Windows Phone may not be the most popular mobile OS, it does seem like it is going to remain alive—which is something that we cannot really say about webOS.

ViewSonic reacts to webOS, uses the time to "reaffirm" their commitment to Windows tablets

Almost like kicking someone when they are down, ViewSonic has offered up a press release to remind everyone that they are still selling tablets. In short, ViewSonic has stated that “in the wake of HP's failed webOS initiative” they are going to remain true to their “tablet strategy.” HP's move to launch a tablet with an unknown OS appears to have presented a challenge in marketing their tablet solution. The webOS, unfamiliar to both consumers and enterprises, complicated the tablet sales process and thus deemed a failed experiment. Sure, it may be a bit harsh and also a bit true…
