Samsung interested in WebOS?
 

Have been visiting the palm forum and came across this post hinting towards HTC/samsung in the WebOS "world". After reading through it also appears as though a few others are also picking up on the rumor too with Samsung interested in licensing webOS

Personally, I do hope Samsung will pick up HPs baton as looks like there might a small glimmer of hope for our favorite Linux based underdog cousins :)

What are your thoughts, who would you like to see making hardware for WebOS?

According to the biggest Dutch tech website Tweakers.net, HTC and Samsung doesn't want WebOS. But it seems like LG could be interested in the WebOS

I don't see why they would considering that their own Bada already outsells WebOS already. It would be good for consumers to have more choice and a nice custom skin over WebOS though.

I have one thing to say LOL :D

Actually, it is not that far fetched. Samsung is definitely looking for ways to get into software and services instead of just hardware, the same is HTC. However, if they are going for WebOS, it is not the OS they are after in particular, it's the people and know how. If I were Samsung I would get WebOS with people and everything. Dump WebOS and go for MeeGo and Bada, but I'm not Samsung. Besides, Samsung is heavily involved with Mentor Graphics and what they need is more services, an ecosystem or two :)

Someone take it, don't let it die.

Possible that Samsung or HTC or LG will be interested because Google is now a hardware vendor too!

Re: Samsung interested in WebOS?
 

Google is now a dominant Android vendor, That's true.

I see optimisms with Samsung, who will screw it up by mixing cholocate with manure(Bada)... but Samsung just wants the patents to "up yours" Apple.
LG unlikely. HTC, not enough resources/buying power i think. Nokia definitely if the trojan horse is absent, but he's there for good.

It may outsell WebOS but it is still crap.

Re: Samsung interested in WebOS?
 

Samsung got to add two ''s'' to Bada and make it badas*.

Re: Samsung interested in WebOS?
 

In my opinion the best case would be if a vendor will take WebOS, put the UI on top of MeeGo and release some decent devices with this system.

• A superior and unique User Interface
• A MeeGo compatible core system and hence plenty of applications from our N900, N950 & N9 ecosystem
