It may sound absurd, but one Jeffries analyst, Peter Misek, has proposed in a research note that Facebook ought to purchase HP’s jettisoned webOS mobile platform.
Misek believes that none of the other potential buyers will likely place a bid and given Facebook’s own trajectory towards media and communications, that the social network would be the best suitor.
Misek points out that many of the potential buyers for webOS, such as Sony Ericsson, ZTE, and Huawei, are content with sourcing both Google's Android and Microsoft's Windows Phone 7, instead of developing or buying their own Operating System (OS).
