More news from the MWC 2013. Now that HP has shown an interest in the Android platform, LG has been interested in the platform initially developed by Palm long ago, WebOS. According to a report, LG has acquired WebOS for use in future Smart TVs.
WebOS may remember that at the time was an innovative mobile operating system that Palm developed based on HTML and JavaScript, but the company was acquired by HP in 2010. That was almost the end of WebOS, because in little more than a year left HP hardware used to develop the operating system and so became an open source project.
Now, everything about WebOS, ie the code, documentation, websites, etc.., Has been sold to LG, who also obtained a license to use WebOS in its own products.
LG's new strategy is, as we said, WebOS implement in future models of Smart TVs.
We do not know what will happen with the project open source WebOS, but we assume that still exist in the phase that is currently.
We hope to have more news in the coming days.
