You're not looking at a new phone headed to stores any time soon—in fact, you're looking at the surprisingly sleek, all-touch webOS smartphone developed by HP which (sadly?) never was.

LG has just announced that it has acquired the much-troubled webOS from HP, reports CNET. But instead of using it to power smartphones or tablets, it's planning to roll out smart TVs which will make use of the OS.

Chubby Checker has sued HP over a webOS app, also called Chubby Checker, that measures dick size.

Google TV was a wonderful idea, but there's no denying that it's flopped. LG has a new idea, though, and is reportedly developing a line of TVs powered by the newly open-source webOS platform.

After purchasing Palm, putting webOS on smartphones and tablets, and then giving up, it seems that HP has finally decided it needs to offer a smartphone. Pressured on the point in an interview with Fox Business, HP's CEO Meg Whitman said that the company "ultimately has to offer a smartphone." But when, where, how, and…

There's almost no reason for any normal person to get excited about the beta release of open source WebOS, but for those of us who still can't come to grips with the fact that Palm's stunted mobile OS was an abject failure, there's still a faint beacon of light to soothe the soul.

Poor little webOS, it just can't catch a break. Now, the Verge is reporting that a large chunk of HP's webOS team is leaving the company and moving on to Google.

It's been a rough ride for webOS of recent times. But despite the OS continuing to survive, HP has decided to ditch a large chunk of it's development team.
