Stephen Dewitt Interviewed on FOX Business Network [VIDEO]

By: , 7/18/2011 5:23 pm | 30 comments

By now you’ve probably read some big talk out of the new SVP and General Manager for webOS Global Business Unit Stephen Dewitt. But you haven’t heard him. Recently, he was interviews on FOX Business Network. If you’re curious to hear what the new head of webOS has to say, then it’s worth watching.

No news is broken here, folks. But he does manage to say “the webOS” a couple hundred times. … We think he’s doing it on purpose to get under our skin.

UPDATE! As if on cue, reader Tyler Bayne let Mr. Dewitt know on Twitter about his “the webOS” tendencies! Dewitt was cool enough to respond, saying “duly noted.” Gotta love this community.

    “the webos” AARRGG!! its webos not THE WEBOS

  • Dustin

    Why must he keep saying “The WebOS!” Even the Fox News anchor is getting it correctly. I agree that it gets under my skin so much.

    • Kussface

      no one cares!

  • Tyler Bayne
  • Melvin Hunter

    he and the anchorwoman were both making me angry because they were talking so slow.

    “the webOS platform” = OK.  But just “the webOS” makes my skin crawl…

    At least he is not saying “The webos” and giving the appropriate inflection with seperating “Web” and “OS”.

    You guys still think HP’s Reshuffle Shows Bright Future for webOS? Because I don’t, especially after that thisismynext interview. This interview hasn’t changed my mind.

    Also, grow up guys. Enough with “the webOS”…

    At least he didn’t start every answer with a pretentious “So…” and he didn’t sound condescending at all. I’ve always thought webOS needed a different front man. Hopefully this guy will help bring people to webOS instead of push them away.

    I think he emphasized the commitment by HP to the platform. We need cool guys like him to talk about the future of webOS.Well done. I see a very bright future for webOS with HP’s commitment.

    No pun intended but he looks gay .

    What is web os?

    I kind of like the sound of “The webOS” rather than just “webOS” but I guess I’m in the minority.

    • JDM

      Yes, it gives it an air of regality, doesn’t it?  “The WebOS”.  It’s the “The” that makes it special. I’m with you.  I think everyone should call it “The WebOS”.

  • Abe

    i watched this video on The TouchPad with The webOS… I love The Flash :)

  • Thoe_e

    wow.  I could have sworn he would have had a british accent.  He has that tall thin and neat london metro look to him.  

  • JDM

    Some of you have such man-crushes.  Let the guy sell The WebOS and stop scaring him away.

  • Midway99

    Serious?  You people need a life.

    DeWitt is better then Rubenstein, he is also smart very clever saying WebOS and not Touchpad, here he is clearly selling the WebOS as a separate entity as the Touchpad, so stop complaining about “The WebOS” it those has it’s purpose.

  • Skippy

    Well, I had thought about getting the iOS, then the Android, then gave a little thought about the Windows Phone 7, and just dismissed the Blackberry, but in the end I went with the WebOS.

    Oh, and on my PC I went with the Windows 7 and not the Linux.

    Yeah, he needs to drop the “the” from “the WebOS”, it just sounds wrong.
