News Reporter Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Following up on the surprise news this morning that link hidden, please login to view, we were left with questions. How? Why? When? We spoke with HP SVP of webOS Martin Risau and LG North America VP of Smart TV Sam Chang about why LG purchased webOS, what they're planning on doing with it, and what exactly HP is doing here as well. As we reported back in October (much to the chagrin of HP and LG), the two companies were working together for several months . Chang said that "during this time we [LG] were very impressed with the technology, but also the people behind it. That's what really drove this transaction." The 'people behind it' are indeed an important part of webOS, and adding them to LG's roster brings a lot of talent and experience with webOS. Quote
