I\u2019m a diehard webOS user. My TouchPad is my daily workhorse, and I love the thing. Until a few weeks ago, I was still using my Palm Pre+ (hacked to run on Sprint<\/a>). However, a recent contract change added Sprint’s $10 data access fee. As much as I love my Pre, I am not not paying 4G rates to use a 3G device.<\/p>\n I’m presently out of contract and was planning on upgrading to whatever device that can run Open webOS<\/a>. That’s looking less likely every day. The Verge broke down<\/a> exactly what happened with HP\/Palm and why the future is bleak for my favorite OS. Even with groups like the Phoenix Project planning<\/a> to port Open webOS to modern hardware, I’m slowly losing hope that they’ll have anything to port.<\/p>\n
