HTC definitely not buying HP webOS

WorldWide Tech & Science. Francisco De Jesús.



HTC  definitely not buying HP webOS.

This is  bad news for webOS fans who were expecting HP sell webOS to HTC , a great smartphone hardware maker, but according to FT today  news , Peter Chou  HTC CEO  says however that HTC no plans to buy its operating system.  The company had considered buying HP´s  webOS  operating system, but had decided to stick with licensing Google´s Android system and Microsoft´s Windows, he says.

The main reason is , he was outweighed by the benefits  of being part of a large Android market place for applications.

HTC has developed its own OS, HTC Sense which makes easier to use the camera or to get and automatic weather report to the handset, he said.

There is  a rumored unkown list of 12 bidders , but we have had information of Samsung, HTC (both not buying HP webOS) and Amazon, only.

The question  is who is the company  interested in buying webOS, that could launch webOS units in 2012, if HTC and Samsung are not in ? Well, rumors still.
