Amazon buying WebOS to compete with Apple?

I love ios. In terms of usability and ease of use it's the best and android doesn't even come close to it. But there is one os that does, that is WebOS. Ever since it has been released it has been praised for it's multitasking and ios like design. But it has been kept back by hardware and with HP exiting the hardware business and no company likely to want to license it, the future doesn't look good. Now there has been rumors about Amazon buying WebOS but there saying it's just for the pattents. I hope not. Here is what they should do. Right now they rely heavingly on android but they can drop android from their kindle fire because it is a customized version of it. Then they could customize WebOS for each of their kindles and have all of their apps on it and make an amazon app store for WebOS. Once that is done they could make their own phone to compete with the Iphone. They could even make different screen sizes or a low-end,mid-end,and high end. By keeping WebOS to only amazon hardware (like Palm and HP has done). They have control of both hardware and software and will have there services in it. That is why they have a chance of competing with apple. They have the content, now they just need the hardware and software to do. They are known for making kindles. Hardware check. They buy WebOS. Software check. So that would make them the only company besides apple with control of hardware,software,and content. So if Amazon does buy WebOS, let's hope they use it and maby we'll see a true threat to apple,or if they tried at least we get better Apple products. Ipad Mini anyone?
