HP Seeks Buyer For WebOS Patents 37
judgecorp writes "Hewlett-Packard wants to cash in a lot of mobile patents, as part of Meg Whitman's restructuring, according to reports. HP acquired the WebOS operating system, as seen on phones and tablets, when it bought Palm, but failed to build a business on it. It's since sold its WebOS business to LG for use in TVs and cars but hung onto the patents which are licensed to LG. Now, Bloomberg reports the patents themselves may be for sale — possibly to whoever fails to buy BlackBerry's tempting bundle of mobile technology."

If Android could inherit much of what makes WebOS great, I would be ecstatic!
So...BB 10 is what you are asking for. BlackBerry took the best design elements from WebOS and put them on the rock solid QNX kernel and then made it possible to run ~90% of all Android apps.
