My prediction is that HP will make some half-hearted attempts to do something with it for a while, and then will sell it at a loss to LG. LG will use it in one or two of their smart TVs and then release it as open source, at which point it will be forgotten. (ref: WebOS)

For what it's worth LG stuck with WebOS. https://www.lg.com/us/webos

The LG version never looked like anything Palm/HP put out, which makes me wonder what LG actually bought, but it's still around.

WebOS in the TVs is still going isn't it't? I have a TV that uses it, and it's great

WebOS is far more superior than android tv

WebOS is great and LG promises at least 5 years of updates.

Their smart magic control is best in class too.

Is this the playbook they followed for Palm? I can't remember who ended up with it in the end. But at least Palm had a decent operating system.
