    Open WebOS 1.0 arrives for those who dare to port


    Posted: 30 Sep 2012
    Call it the ghost of Palm past. Today the once-lauded WebOS, originally a smartphone operating system, lives on once again in the form of Open WebOS 1.0.

    Issued by Hewlett-Packard (HP), the first open-source version of Open WebOS is now ready for developers and others in the open-source community to port Open WebOS to any number of devices.

    So, it's supposed to do everything while having nothing in mind.

    Sort of like a jack of all trades, master of none.

    It's like a comatose baby that the parents keep on life support because of the faint hope that he might be a doctor one day.

    I grabbed an HP TouchPad when they were going for €99. Used it for a couple of days, but now I only use it as a quick reference when playing Skyrim.

    WebOS is really slow and clunky, even with the TouchPad overclocked to 1.5GHz.

    I Think WebOS Cannot Beat Andriod, Apple IOS 6 And Windows Phone 8 OS in Smart Devices Market.
