Which is meaningless. Given HP's past record with supporting their mobile devices, this was a death sentence for WebOS.

No one who follows these things will buy a HP tablet knowing the OS is a dead end.

Funny thing I've seen the HP tablet commercials with Russel Brand & Manny Pacquiao today. I guess the marketing dept didn't get the word.
