HP announced on 18 August, the intention to discontinue development of its WebOS solutions belonging to the family , one of the actions that follow a comprehensive review procedure within the company in search of maximum profitability.
As well known, among other HP has also announced plans to evaluate a different destination for your group PSG, responsible for producing solutions for the consumer audience. The most plausible hypothesis is that a complete spin-off to create a new company, which specializes in solutions for the note's consumer.
Its news of these days' start of the first layoffs of employees within the company engaged in the division WebOS. It's a move expected in light of the declared last August by HP, which coivolgerà little more than 500 employees. At present it is unclear whether the company will reorganize internally at least some of these people, but considering the speed and radical choice that led to the closure of a division WebOS this scenario seems difficult to predict.
It remains now to understand even what the fate of WebOS, become assets of HP after the acquisition of Palm. The most plausible hypothesis is that HP may be able to transfer to another company, the software part of WebOS, while it seems difficult to assume that HP may continue within the development providing the software licensed to third parties.
