As we told you earlier, HP is rumored to be preparing to sell off the corpse of webOS to the highest bidder. New in the rumor mill is that HP is preparing for a last-minute all-hands meeting tonight after the markets close. This sort of maneuver usually means bad news, and sources are saying that the company will finally detail what’s going to happen with webOS.
The meeting will likely go out as a press call as well, so be ready for a flurry of updates this evening. New CEO Meg Whitman will be taking the stage at 4:30PM PT. Past reports have pegged partners like IBM, Oracle, and RIM as potential suitors. Although, there are problems with all those combinations.
Whatever happens, this is going to be judgement day for webOS. After the meeting, we will probably have an idea if the OS is being sold for scrap, or actually has some sort of future. What’s your prediction?

Anyway, why kill WebOS? It may well be the best tablet OS that shipped to date.
