There’s is now chance that that Amazon will buy WebOS – perhaps other than its patent portfolio. Sale price less than $100 million.

You don’t sit on a couch with a printer on your lap flipping through apps or browsing the web. It’s just not that kind of device.

It’s a failed idea, but largely because HP isn’t interested in doing the work to build up WebOS and its’ lost developer support.
