That happens when HP wants to salvage a technology. I remember a few years ago they talked about putting webOS on printers, for example.

They sold webOS to LG, nowadays LG SmartTVs are powered by webOS. Today we have also ChromeOS and FirefoxOS which have a similar role.

I still recall being impressed by the Enyo demo, especially when they resized the browser window and the layout would adapt on the fly.

This could have allowed what Google etc is only talking about, plugging a phone into a larger display and getting a more desktop like UI.
