According to The Verge, HP CEO Meg Whitman announced to HP employees that the future of webOS is still unknown. It appears their recent attempts to sell-off the webOS platform has not panned out.

From the article, Meg Whitman is quoted as saying:

“It’s really important to me to make the right decision, not the fast decision,” she told those gathered with her on the HP campus, adding that a decision would come in the next three to four weeks. […] “If HP decides [to keep webOS], we’re going to do it in a very significant way over a multi-year period,” she said, adding that “it’s a very expensive proposition, but HP can make that bet.”

If HP were to keep webOS, I wonder how they would make that happen. Considering that their TouchPad sales were only seen as successful after they dropped the price to $99, I don’t hold too much faith in webOS with HP still at the helm.
