Among the announcements of HP wanting out of the PC business lurks another piece of news-- HP kills its webOS device business.
Specifically, the TouchPad and all webOS phones (such as the Veer and the just released Pre 3) are on their way to the mobile graveyard.
webOS itself might still survive, should an interested buyer appears-- maybe a disgruntled Google partner is looking for an Android alternative?
HP acquired webOS from Palm last year for $1.2Bn, in a (one might say failed) attempt to break into the mobile device business with an iOS/Android rival.
The webOS dumping is only part of HP's great Garage Sale, where the company also seeks to sell off HP Personal Systems Group (its PC busness)-- if not its surely-valuable patent portfolio.
