We just wrapped up our liveblog of HP CEO Leo Apotheker’s appearance here at D9 , and while he certainly spoke far too frequently about printers, there has been one nugget that we just couldn’t overlook. When speaking casually in regards to the way forward for webOS on non-HP handsets , he noted that the firm was seeking to license webOS to varied other hardware manufacturers. Granted, the majority of those usually are wrapped up inside the enterprise, but he is not tossing out the concept of using webOS on other mobile devices. When asked if he’d consider licensing webOS to an organization like HTC, he confessed to being very willing to having that conversation should the scenario manifest itself. It’s hard to claim if he’s just shooting the breeze or if there’s already a corporate or two behind the curtain seeking to do exactly that, but either way, you possibly can bet we’ll be keeping our eyes peeled for any webOS creations sans HP’s labeling. Focus on a major play to get the eye of developers.
