This would one of the biggest news that I heard this year, Korean electronic maker LG Electronics will acquire HP's (Hewlett-Packard) software Web-os source code and other amenities which Web-Os has, however, the patent still remains with HP's hand.
The purpose of LG's acquisition is to enhanced the features of their smart-tv products which I am sure that the product will be profitable on the buyers end, rather than just a plain television sitting on a living room. My prediction will be it can be used as a digital display whether on commercial or small medium business.
Things are getting excited on the development of the smart-tv's especially for programmers, since HP WebOs is an open-source.
