HP confirms it's in talks about licensing webOS, Samsung tipped as a possibility
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsSamsungHPPalmwebOS
HP CEO Leo Apotheker has already indicated that he's totally open to licensing webOS to other companies, and he's now confirmed that HP has, in fact, been in talks with a "number of companies" about that possibility. Not surprisingly, he didn't get much more specific than that, and went some way to dampen expectations a bit, saying that "there is no time pressure to do this."

You can choose from a clock display, a slideshow of your photos, or your daily agenda.
Next is voice dialing, which is prompted by holding down the volume key, ...

Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsHPPalmAmazonwebOS
I’ve been thinking a lot about the webOS prospects recently. You may’ve read my rant on why Nokia should’ve picked Palm/HP’s rather than Microsoft’s mobile platform and now I want to make a case why HP should pitch Amazon to make a webOS-based tablet and how the two companies can help drive webOS forward. I have two reasons why a strategic deal between HP and Amazon could be beneficial for both companies.
