According to the biggest Dutch tech website Tweakers.net, HTC and Samsung doesn't want WebOS. But it seems like LG could be interested in the WebOS

I don't see why they would considering that their own Bada already outsells WebOS already. It would be good for consumers to have more choice and a nice custom skin over WebOS though.

Personally, I do hope Samsung will pick up HPs baton as looks like there might a small glimmer of hope for our favorite Linux based underdog cousins
What are your thoughts, who would you like to see making hardware for WebOS?
Actually, it is not that far fetched. Samsung is definitely looking for ways to get into software and services instead of just hardware, the same is HTC. However, if they are going for WebOS, it is not the OS they are after in particular, it's the people and know how. If I were Samsung I would get WebOS with people and everything. Dump WebOS and go for MeeGo and Bada, but I'm not Samsung. Besides, Samsung is heavily involved with Mentor Graphics and what they need is more services, an ecosystem or two

Someone take it, don't let it die.
Possible that Samsung or HTC or LG will be interested because Google is now a hardware vendor too!

Google is now a dominant Android vendor, That's true.
I see optimisms with Samsung, who will screw it up by mixing cholocate with manure(Bada)... but Samsung just wants the patents to "up yours" Apple.
LG unlikely. HTC, not enough resources/buying power i think. Nokia definitely if the trojan horse is absent, but he's there for good.

In my opinion the best case would be if a vendor will take WebOS, put the UI on top of MeeGo and release some decent devices with this system.
- A superior and unique User Interface
- A MeeGo compatible core system and hence plenty of applications from our N900, N950 & N9 ecosystem
