HP Sets Date for Veer Apathy Day

      After under three months on the market, we finally have a hard date for complete and utter disinterest in the Veer from HP: October 17th.

      The Veer launched in May to lukewarm reviews and fierce defense from the webOS community. Major subjects of complaint concerning the device included its minuscule screen, mediocre camera, its misleading advertising regarding '4G' connectivity, its lack of support for threaded messaging, the non-standard USB cable, lack of a flash, lack of apps, the tiny, nonremoveable battery, the fact that headphone usage required an adapter, and (among its fans) lack of marketing push from HP and AT&T.
