La dichiarazione originale è questa (grassetto mio):
We didn't buy Palm to be in the smartphone business. And I tell people that, but it doesn't seem to resonate well. We bought it for the IP. The WebOS is one of the two ground-up pieces of software that is built as a web operating environment...We have tens of millions of HP small form factor web-connected devices...Now imagine that being a web-connected environment where now you can get a common look and feel and a common set of services laid against that environment. That is a very value proposition.
Buffo, dice di non aver comprato Palm per stare nel mercato smartphone, ma per usarlo con devices connessi al web e con form factor ridotto...
Mmm da quel che ricordo uno smartphone è proprio un piccolo device connesso al web
