The Portable Hewlett Packard: Well, that was fast. Just months after the introduction of what appeared to be one of the most promising challengers in the IPAD, said Hewlett-Packard is to get out of the company webOS and the abandonment of the touchpad and mobile webOS. The company is now seeking to "maximize" the value of webOS, which could mean a sale of the operating system licensed to other manufacturers or simply uses very specific to the platform in devices such as printers. It’s a big turnaround for HP, which also announced that it was looking at spinning off its huge PC business. It sounds like HP is in search of profitability and has lost patience with webOS. It’s a shame because I and many others have also been enamored with the platform, which just never seemed to get enough support. Now, it appears HP will sit on webOS and see what it wants to do next. Just recently, HP was reportedly open to licensing the platform. There was hope that it might, with the right momentum, become a possible third-place challenger in the mobile wars. But the webOS phones haven’t caught on, and the TouchPad has gone through a number of price drops, which hasn’t instilled much confidence and suggested sales were meager. It seems to be part of a fairer media device from HP, not unlike that Cisco has done with her Flip camera. Ciscobought the return of Pure Digital Technologies business to kill him when it fits the discussion back to the base, HP still makes the value of its $ 1.2 billion purchase of the maker of Palm webOS as patents phones, which are now worth a premium today. But it is a pity that webOS not seem to be given the opportunity to be a competitor in the mobile market.
