Quick, everyone check their sofa cushions. We should be able to scrounge up enough money to buy WebOS. :grin:

But no, Microsoft doesn't need WebOS patents unless there are some essential FRAND patents in there that we're not aware of.

HP spends a billion dollars to buy Palm and then destroys it. I wish I had that kind of money to play around with.

I agree with HeyCori, we should all buy it (can't be worth too much after HP). We can start our own company around it!!! Forum community project!! :D

Imagine webOS cards on your surface tablet? or their multi-tasking? That is what I miss from my HP Touchpad.
