If I were Sony, I would just make a phone version out of the Walkman Z series. Not that I like that Android Walkman, but that's what makes "business sense".
Sony is no longer the engineer-driven company it was in the last century. It has been a long time since they made products as crazy as the Aibo robo-dog or the Clie NZ90. Sony is now all about business sense. That's why the Walkman went all plasticky & Android, instead of the Walkman with a soul back in the days of the NW-HD1.
And, for those who said SonyEricsson is stuck in the feature phone business, open your eyes as the Xperia Arc is doing quite well. You just doesn't know it exists because AT&T doesn't like it.
Thus, I don't think Sony would buy webOS. Plus, HP has done it's best to kill the eco system, thank you very much, HP.
Lastly, I wouldn't get too excited over this Sony take over. The deal is set to close next year, and then it would take a year or two for the integration to take effect. Even if they get webOS and start working on it next year, by the time they are ready to market, the market has already been dominated by other players.
