WebOS was an acquisition from Palm, however. And they dumped it almost immediately after the Touchpad and the Pre3 sales tanked.

They dumped it because of Apotheker. This was Hurd’s project and once he was out they firesaled the whole line. It didn’t even have enough time to make a sale.
That’s when I HP was in real trouble. Instead of pursuing new markets in mobile they retreated back to PCs, printers, and services. They were trying to grow into a market o it’s way to stagnating.
