Samsung has hired HP's former president of PSG marketing Raymond
Wah to run its PC business and is considering a purchase of
WebOS, according to a DigiTimes report.  Last week, Samsung
denied rumors that it wanted to buy HP's PC business. This new
report from DigiTimes speculates Samsung is going after WebOS
instead.  The future of WebOS is in limbo. HP says it is still
considering using the OS to power PCs. It's also possible HP
will license WebOS to other manufacturers.  But the most likely
scenario is that HP will sell off WebOS altogether.  WebOS could
be a lot more attractive to Samsung now that Google owns
Motorola. Since it's very likely Motorola will get first dibs on
Google's Android updates and new features, Samsung could be
looking for an alternative OS.
