Samsung to buy webOS?

Rumor: Samsung may buy webOS from HP

I think it is a stupid idea but might work for few reasons:
- to keep Google honest (with the Moto purchase);
- to get Palm patent portfolio (nobody is talking about them, why?);
- to have something to fall back if Apple wins the patent battle;
- to buy insurance against Android uncertain future...
etc.

If the price is right, why not?

- to buy insurance against Android uncertain future...

LoL .. You mean windows 7's lack of popularity against Android/iOS right?? Right on.

No.
Oracle lawsuit.
Have you heard about it?

The risk is very low, I believe, but if
you can get insurance for cheap - why not?

I guess this rumor run out of steam just like the one about Samsung buying HP's PC business.
Samsung will 'never' use webOS, says CEO Choi Gee Sung | This is my next...

Android and Bada keeps them busy...
