HP announced on Friday that it will <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/12/09/hp-cuts-its-losses-makes-webos-open-source/">open-source its webOS mobile operating system</a>, which once upon a time powered smartphones and a single tablet. Even though the company said quite some time ago that it was <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/08/18/rip-webos-hp-kills-off-its-mobile-operating-system/">killing off it webOS hardware efforts</a>, HP CEO Meg Whitman said in an interview with <em>The Verge</em> on Friday that HP plans to create new webOS-based devices in the future. “The answer to that is yes but what I can’t tell you is whether that will be in 2012 or not,” Whitman said when asked about the potential for new hardware. “But we will use webOS in new hardware, but it’s just going to take us a little longer to reorganize the team in a quite different direction than we’ve been taking it in the past.” Whitman declined to elaborate on what webOS devices HP plans to build, but she did say tablets are possible.<span id="more-115937"></span>
