Does everyone still remember the open source webOS operating system that use to grace the company once known as Palm-HP? The open source platform may make a surprise big screen debut at January at the CES (Consumer Electronics Show), in Las Vegas, Nevada. A new report is claiming LG will use the software to underpin a new Smart TV platform. According to webOS Nation, sources from Gram (the. 

We now know HP CEO Meg Whitman has made the decision to keep webOS alive and in the form of open source. It will live as a platform for other hardware manufacturers to build upon. As we said in a previous article, HP is not going to re-enter the smartphone market anymore but will in some capacity still play look towards building webOS-based tablets.  

In an interview with The Verge today, HP CEO Meg Whitman discussed the company’s plans for future webOS-based HP tablets. Now that webOS is open sourced, it will only be limitless as to how many hardware manufacturers can get on-board with pushing the mobile platform aside from HP themselves. “The answer to that is yes but what I can’t tell you is whether that will be in. 

HP CEO Meg Whitman and company has finally decided on the fate of webOS today. The platform will join the open source community and will be an “active participant and investor in the project”. The company is likely to invest a large sum of money into promoting the open source platform in hopes to create developer awareness.  

PreCentral reports that HP CEO Meg Whitman has called a meeting for tomorrow, a gathering that is likely to decide the future of webOS. Whitman is a day late on her promise as she promised back on November 8th she would decide on the fate of the operating system within three to four weeks. At this point the platform can go either way. I sure hope webOS lives on with proper development as. 

HP issued an update (3.0.4) to its ill-fated webOS with a number of performance enhancements and some new features back in October but according to PreCentral, a 3.0.5 update is now available to members of the platforms early access program. It’s a routine update that focused on patching up bugs and adding HTML5  

The HP TouchPad seems to be a tablet cannot seem to rest in peace. Despite claims on several occasions by the company that it was completely out of TouchPads, it has found a small stash of refurbished 16GB and 32GB models that will go on sale for $99 and $149 respectively.  

When the HP TouchPad went on a fire sale, everyone did not hesitate to pick up the webOS-powered tablet and when rumors surfaced that there was a 7-inch smaller sibling people were excited to see this come to stores at liquidation prices. The 7-inch tablet goes by the name of TouchPad Go — basically a smaller version of the ill-fated TouchPad that never had the chance to make an impact. 

French newspaper Le Figaro interviewed Hewlett-Packard CEO Meg Whitman where she discussed webOS. Earlier this month she said she would make a decision about the fate of webOS. This time she says there should be a verdict in the next couple weeks, which will give her even more room to decide which direction the mobile operating system will head.  

HP’s decision to abort from its mobile aspirations seemed to have left the group of webOS hopefuls in the dark and while the webOS platform gained little to no traction like Android and iOS, it still had a decent fan base to build upon. Many webOS fans are users of iOS, Android and Blackberry but never made the switch due to the less than impressive ecosystem. HP shelled out more than.
