Who would buy it? HTC or Samsung? Nokia? The OEMs are worse at making OSes and dev ecosystems than even HP which has experience making a UNIX based OS. And it's not as if buying WebOS will stop the patent attacks, in fact, it may increase them. They would simply be better off with Android/Windows 8 for tablets
As Nokia's CEO said, it's a battle of ecosystems now, not devices anymore. Maybe RIM's next, either for a takeover, or a failure.

How about the bidder who lost out, Apple? http://www.businessinsider.com/apple-rim-google-hp-palm-2010-7 http://www.businessinsider.com/apple-rim-google-hp-palm-2010... One year later, I'm sure whatever it was Apple saw in Palm (patents, according to the above article) is still there.
