Probably the company behind it. HP dropped the tablets instead of investing in
developing some software for it (you could review the whole catalog in an hour
or so). WebOS itself was great (still is as Enyo framework) in my opinion. I'd
really like it if Mozilla just picked up that project instead.

I know they're trying to continue, but neither HP nor Palm when they owned the
brand did anything amazing with it. Palm pre was really cool and WebOS on
Touchpad was great to use... it just really missed useful apps. I get a
feeling that if they invested in getting even a 100 of good apps either
written for or ported to WebOS at the time of the first tablet, it could turn
out completely differently...

 credibly the ship's company behind it. HP dropped the tablets alternatively of endow in 
 developing some software for it (you could review the whole catalog in an hour 
 or indeed). WebOS itself was capital (still is as Enyo framework) in my opinion. I'd 
 really like it if Mozilla barely picked up that project alternatively.
