Stories similar to HP’s Open webOS Goes 1.0, Can Now Be Ported To New Devices

Open webOS 1.0 was released yesterday. And no, that is not an edition you can just download and install on anything. It is for developers, not for everybody – at least not yet. This is a milestone release in the short history of Open webOS, the open source edition of what used to be webOS, the operating system for the HP Touchpad and Pre and Pixi smartphones.

At Hewlett-Packard’s (NYSE: HPQ) Partner Conference last February, chief executive Meg Whitman didn’t directly defend the vendor’s addled WebOS, yet pointedly said she believed there was room for another, albeit open OS, on the mobile market.

My ideal dream for this is to have WebOS running on my touchpad but able to run android software. I love how well WebOS runs but hate that there is no software and I haven't really been happy with my multi-boot android situation.

When HP announced late last year that it would open source webOS, it was hard not to be skeptical.

HP is hiring 50 developers for the WebOS platform, marking a new turn for the company’s troubled mobile market play. The news comes as HP continues its effort to make WebOS a secure, open platform. First spotted by The Powerbase, the job openings are in Shanghai and Sunnyvale.

HP has announced it will contribute the former Palm smartphone operating system, webOS, software to the open source community.

I wasn’t always the Android fanatic that I am today, I originally started as a strong supporter of webOS. When webOS died about a year ago, I was a little sad to see the card based OS go. Now it seems that webOS has found a comfortable home as an open source community project.
