Comments on: Best Buy Preparing Stores for TouchPad

hp touchpad best buy After a long absence from the brick and mortar retail world, WebOS is making a gradual comeback. Spearheaded by the impending HP TouchPad tablet launch on July 1st, HP is also making a push to bolster in-store signage for the HP Veer and future devices running the OS.

A recent trip to one Best Buy last weekend revealed the early stages of a more substantial HP presence. The first store I visited had only a small 2-device standalone HP display in the smartphone area of BB Mobile. A white Veer was powered on and usable while a non-functional black dummy Veer was positioned alongside it.

Nice bit of sluethin' there Khris!

It appears that the HP Marketing Department is throwing a fast ball for WebOS. Something Palm OS or WebOS has not seen since, uhhh well never? This takes some serious muscle to get Wal-Mart & BB etc to build end caps or islands for your product.

I just hope they don't forget to be as dedicated to the engineering and market research budgets. The platform may survive with a round or two of this. That is if HP $hareholders can withstand the wait. This could be interesting.
