HP decides webOS fate on Nov. 8th???

It seems like the world will finally know what HP is going to do with its webOS platform. HP is hosting a Nov. 8th meeting where a variety of things are going to be discussed. Sources have said that at this meeting HP is going to finally decide what it is going to do with the platform it acquired from Palm. The HP tablet was killed off in one of that last moves the ex CEO Leo Apotheker did before leaving. New CEO Meg Whitman has taken over and has said that HP is going to stay in the tablet business with an agreement with Microsoft and the new Windows 8 platform. HP could announce it will sell of the webOS (which has some rumored bidders as Oracle, Amazon, Research In Motion, IBM, and Intel),license the software to other companies for their own devices, or shut down the unit entirely and keep the patents they acquired. Whatever the decision it seems we might all finally learn the fate of webOS on November 8th. Stay tuned.
