HP will split the webOS division into two parts

Rather unpleasant news for fans of the software environment webOS was the news of the termination of HP on webOS-devices. Immediately after this statement made by HP management, the company's shares fell in price, and the fate of the webOS structural unit became very vague. But the other day there was news that HP is going to divide webOS into two structural units.



Earlier it was already mentioned that HP is going to use this software platform both for itself, for the company's internal needs, and for the provision of webOS licenses for other companies. From the letter sent by management to HP employees, the webOS division will be divided into “software” and “hardware” departments.

In this case, the software part goes to the Office of Strategy and Technology (OS & T), and the hardware part goes to the Personal Systems Group. The letter also explains the changes. In particular, management believes that OS & T, called the “successful technology incubator”, will be able to use the platform for the benefit of HP's long-term technology development strategy.



Employees who have previously engaged in designing devices based on the webOS platform will now work in a unit that produces personal computers. As mentioned above, this is Personal Systems Group.
