LG bought the WebOS technology from HP after the latter ground it along with themselves into smithereens. LG incorporated the OS into their TVs apparently with success, and now want launch a Web OS based smartwatch.

I dream of the Resurrection of Palm...*sigh*

World, face Palm: PDA brand to RISE FROM THE GRAVE
Chinese mobe maker bags trademarks from HP

Remember Palm? The company that made the PDA a must-have item in the 1990s may be long gone, but it looks like the Palm brand may be due for a resurgence this year.

The eagle-eyed fanatics at webOSNation.com were the first to notice that the palm.com website – and indeed any subdomain of palm.com – now redirects to a site with the URL mynewpalm.com.

The new site contains nothing but the familiar Palm logo along with text that alternates between "Coming Soon" and "Smart Move."

DNS records indicate that the mynewpalm.com domain is owned by Wide Progress Global Limited – a shell company if we've ever heard of one.

Some digging by webOSNation.com forum members turned up this document, which reveals that HP – which bought Palm for $1.2bn in 2010 – has transferred all of its worldwide Palm trademarks to Wide Progress Global, which just happens to be incorporated in the British Virgin Islands at someplace called the "Offshore Incorporations Centre."

More telling is the "Smart Move" phrase, which just happens to be the slogan of Alcatel One Touch, the brand of smartphones marketed by Chinese electronics and appliance outfit TCL.

And sure enough, as the sleuths at webOSNation.com sniffed out, the Nicolas Zibell who signed the trademark transfer document on behalf of Wide Progress Global just happens to have the same name as the senior VP and general manager of Americas for TCL Communication Technology Holdings, who was previously president of Americas and Pacific for Alcatel One Touch.
