There is a saying ’round the webOS world… something to the effect of “it’s impossible to brick a webOS device.” Seems, that’s hardly the case at the moment — the newfangled Touch to Share technology that’s tucked into the newest round of HP devices is mighty fickle, and one Rob Whitby has somehow managed to show his Veer 4G right into a bantam paperweight. As opposed to using it as a projectile with a mind to make his security deposit vanish, he did the sole remaining intelligent thing to do: rip it open, while taking pleasure in refusing it an epidural. There isn’t any video of the presumably gut-wrenching procedure, but there is a shockingly detailed account of the teardown linked below. Eye candy’s only a click away, and yes, donations for a replacement are being accepted. The funeral date, however, remains undetermined.
