Its Official Now, HP will completely shutdown WebOS after all

According to the Guardian, internal HP sources have revealed that the company will be shutting down WebOS. HP had just confirmed yesterday that it will be keeping its PC business, reversing plans to spin-off the PSG division, and although it had insisted back in August that it would continue to support the WebOS software, a complete shutdown of the division looks to be imminent.

There are currently about 500 employees working in the WebOS unit, but several top-level staff have recently left, which is a telling sign. Its believed that some WebOS staff will be moved to a different division within HP, while others will be laid off. "There is a 95% chance we all get laid off between now and November, and I for one am thinking it’s for the best" said one WebOS employee.
