are you saying those conceptual products tie into webos? it doesn't seem related to webos in any way. hp of course still makes tons of other hardware.

Looks like they let their designers have fun making up future tech for a movie.

As for the spin-off, I don't think it makes any difference. Either HP or a spun-off company will still be doing hardware design and production. Probably the spun-off company will share some branding with HP (e.g. a creative and innovative name like "HP personal computing systems"). So largely irrelevant for this.

What a bunch of buffoons, the board and Ray Lane are. They don't know any better than trying to mimic IBM.

webOS , if tuned well, can be a solid platform on these gadgets.
They got a buggy OS, total App store process, Synergy, OTA and a UI concept that everyone is copying. They just need a strong stomach to take losses while they improve the OS.
