HP will keep the webOS business by dividing it into two divisions

The foggy situation regarding the future of the mobile operating system WebOS, administered by Hewlett-Packard, contributes to the fouling of rumors: quite reputable agencies predicted the sale of WebOS or its licensing to a number of companies, ranging from South Korean Samsung to Facebook and HTC. Yesterday, the head of Samsung denied rumors about the plans to buy WebOS for his company, reasonably noting that they have enough operating systems - Android, Windows Phone 7 and Bada’s own platform.

Today there was a new insinuation. The site Precental.net published a post that they had at their disposal the Hewlett-Packard internal documents from which it follows that the WebOS division is planned to be divided into two - the “software”, which will become part of the Office of Strategy and Technology and "Iron", which is planned to be part of the Personal Systems Group, which occupies the PC business of Hewlett-Packard.

It is curious that another result of the Hewlett-Packard document is that the company will continue to develop WebOS on its own, however, the issue of licensing it to other companies will be resolved positively if the latter wants to do so.
