UNRAVELING WEBOS: Hewlett-Packard Co. has sold webOS, a key piece of a $1.8 billion acquisition that has been largely forgotten since the company stopped using the software in smartphones and tablet computers in late 2011. HP bought Palm Inc. primarily because it thought webOS could help it compete in the mobile device market.
