According to HP, "The devices have not met internal milestones and financial targets." To put it better in plain language,they did not sell enough webOS devices hardly a surprise given the lack of developed apps for the webOS ecosystem.

The beautifully looking OS might just continue living on in printers or cars entertainment/navigation systems, or get licensed to an interested party. However, as far as mobile devices are concerned, it is all over.
