Samsung will not acquire webOS

The audience Habra is already familiar with the sad decision of Hewlett-Packard to get rid of the business associated with the operating system WebOS acquired in 2010 for a very significant amount. Some time later, there were rumors on the Internet that Korean Samsung is planning to purchase WebOS in addition to its already significant supply of mobile platforms from its devices - Samsung, in addition to widely used Android-based smartphones, also produces devices based on Microsoft Windows Phone 7 and on its own design by Bada.

Today there was information from Samsung officials, denying rumors about a possible acquisition. Samsung CEO Cho Ji Sang (Choi Gee Sung), giving comments to journalists at the IFA electronics exhibition in Berlin, said bluntly that his company did not plan such an acquisition, noting at the same time quite ingeniously that "the purchase of operating systems should not become fashionable", having in view of the already existing arsenal of mobile platforms from Samsung.

It is curious that, according to published studies of such a reputable agency as IDC, the largest social network Facebook and Taiwanese smartphone maker HTC were also interested in acquiring WebOS.
