Mobile is getting grounded, HP CEO Leo Apotheker has announced. In 2012, HP will include the mobile operating system it purchased with Palm in 2009, webOS, on every PC it ships, along with the latest version of stationary computing standard Microsoft Windows. HP seeks to expand the webOS platform’s reach and attract more developers, Apotheker explained. With a mere 6,000 developed apps, webOS seriously lags both Apple’s App Store, with its 350,000 apps, and Google’s Android, with its 250,000. That could all change, however, with the webOS-PC marriage.
