Over before it even really started, Hewlett Packard announced today that they are killing the TouchPad line introduced last month, along with announcing plans to exit the home computer business. Executives at HP have been authorized to examine options such as spinning off or selling outright the PC operations, even though HP currently is the world's largest manufacturer of personal home and business computers.

Even though they have created a whole new operating system, WebOS and purchased Palm it looks as though they were just too late to the party and want to re-focus the overall company on profitability and not just market share. The end of the line includes all WebOS based handsets, phones and devices.

So long Touchpad, we hardly knew ya!
