Was it Palm or Palmsource that had some licensing thing going with Wind River at one time?

This purchase might be for webOS for Desktops.

Not necessarily desktops... it could be for any tablets/net-books too.... They did mention that Hyperspace has an ARM version too.

I really really really hope HP is looking at all the Android craplets coming out and learning what NOT to do. Bootup (cold start) of over a minute is pathetic. And response time for page swipes on something like the Pandigital Novel is just unacceptable. People want real-world responsiveness.
