Report: HP Still Looking To Offload Palm, Amazon Named As Top Contenter

webos-fireThe Kindle Fire announcement set the interwebs ablaze as Amazon burst into the tablet scene. But the retailer-turned-CE player might be looking to go a different way in the future. Amazon has been named as Palm's current top suitor among "a handful of contenders" as HP looks to rid itself from the TouchPad/webOS disaster. It's unclear from VentureBeat's leaks why Amazon is interested in Palm. Ditching Android for webOS after building an ecosystem around Android seems foolish and shortsighted. This move, if it's really happening, could be more about hardware development and patents than reviving a dead operating system. Sorry, fanboys.
