I wonder if Nokia had approached / will approach HP to acquire WebOS. With Elop @ Nokia's realm, I am skeptical. RIM is too busy building its on OS to be really interested. Amazon, Intel and Samsung seem like very likely candidates to take WebOS off HP's hands.

Nokia, RIM and Samsung seem pretty committed to their choice of OS. Rumors of Amazon tablets running Android keep surfacing but Amazon and Google are not exactly friends - Android is likely the least painful OS choice. They could buy WebOS and be free of Google and avoid developing their own OS from scratch. If you think about all the services Amazon offers they're basically just an OS and some hardware away from being a "full stack" iOS competitor.

I still stand by my belief that Nokia should've bought WebOS.
