This is an autopost I set up a year ago — August 18, 2011 — the day HP bailed out of webOS.
Here’s the challenger:
@mikecane You brought this on yourself. I told you, a year from now, if there's still #webOS hardware, I'm calling you on it!—
Jonathan Ezor (@webOSquire) August 18, 2011
And me:
@webOSquire I'll go you one better! I'll set an AUTOPOST for this date. Do NOT delete that tweet! I'm not afraid to be wrong! Are YOU?—
Mike Cane (@mikecane) August 18, 2011
And remember, kids: This post was set to automagically post. I could damn well have been dead for months if I haven’t been posting!
Update, August 17, 2012: Being a good sport, webOSquire reminded me of this pending post the day before autoposting. And I just wanted to update it with this week’s news that makes it all even worse for him. That’s the news about the ridiculously-named webOS company now called Gram, which makes clear:
We are no longer a consumer hardware brand
So there are no new webOS devices in the pipeline even from them!
Well, I am still looking forward to the release of Open webOS around the end of September 2012. And I hope that by this time next year, he and I will both be running it on a wicked fast tablet that originally ran iOS or Android or Windows 8. So we can both win. Hahahaha!
