HP will lay off as many as 525 employees from its Palm division this week <em>AllThingsD </em>reported on Tuesday. HP <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/08/18/rip-webos-hp-kills-off-its-mobile-operating-system/">killed off its webOS mobile operating system in mid-August</a> when it also announced it would discontinue the development of webOS devices such as the TouchPad and Palm Pre family of smartphones. “As part of this decision, the webOS GBU is undergoing a reduction in workforce,” an HP spokesperson<em> </em>explained<em>. “</em>Today’s actions are part of this initiative. During this time, we stand by our commitment to our webOS customers and will work to ensure that support and service for customers are not adversely affected. HP is exploring ways to leverage webOS software.” <span id="more-104220"></span>
