What does the future hold for webOS?

Supposedly, HP's story is now that they will continue using webOS but obviously not in smartphones or tablet devices.  Instead, they will continue to grow the webOS software catalog and use it within printers and PC's.  Ok, I can understand printers...But PC's?

webOS is obviously a little more tied into the web than other offerings.  So would a webOS based PC function more like a cloud based computer like Google's Chromebook?  Or would it basically be like the TouchPad but with a keyboard?

All I can say is "Wow...".  HP has been shaking things up internally a bit as of late.  I just hope they know what they are doing.  And poor webOS has been right in the middle of the crap storm all along.  First from Palm and now HP.  Where will it land?  I honestly think nobody knows.
