HP is Only Using webOS in ALL Future Smartphones

By: , 7/23/2010 6:15 pm | 8 comments

Todd Bradley, former CEO of Palm and currently at HP, commented after the Fortune 2010 Brainstorm Event (which we covered here) about the future of webOS on mobile devices, and made it very clear that HP is only going to use webOS in their smartphones. This is, obviously, really great news since that means they really are pouring everything into webOS and Palm.

A few statements that he made in the video (which we’ve linked to below) seem to strongly point to HP trimming back on their dependency on other companies (like Microsoft) so that they can put full focus on their new Mobile Development Division (of which Palm is now the primary brand). They really want this thing to scale, and so do we.

What does this mean for the competition? To put it simply, HP really means business with this acquisition and they don’t plan on messing this up in any way. By cutting out Android OS and WinMo7, they are cutting away a lot of the risk that comes with it, and can build a reliable and credible name for webOS and Palm.

Now why couldn’t they say that during the interview?

    Oh and someone needs to forward the memo that its "webOS" not "Web OS", but I guess they can call it whatever they want as long as they put out some kick ass hardware.
