Open webOS Might Have a Future Now
Mike Cane’s xBlog

Phoenix Devices We determined that we are not prepared to just sit back and hope for the best, so we began our preparations to adopt Open webOS when it is released, and we will continue from where HP left off. But what does that even mean? It means to address the inadequacies of webOS itself, it means to have a constant dialogue with the greater community of users regarding the inadequacies of webOS, and working on adding new features and fixing annoying bugs. And, ultimately, it means to increase the selection of devices that webOS can run on—first by porting it to desirable new hardware already available on the market, and eventually over the long term by working with an established manufacturer to introduce a line of custom webOS devices. Boldfaced emphasis added by me. If I were them, I’d pick just three Android tablets as targets for getting Open webOS running on them. I’d like to see them target the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7″ (all generations), the Barnes & Noble

RIP webOS: Again and for good this time
MacDailyNews

[cfsp key="google_adsense_300x250"]After “HP reshuffled its management [they] decided to make webOS open-source to keep the platform from going the way of the dodo,” James Kendrick reports for ZDNet. “It would offer webOS to the world for anyone to use, and keep the team intact to make a serious effort.” “Now comes the word that Google has poached the core Enyo team from HP, to end up doing who-knows-what at Google,” Kendrick reports. “Odds are it won’t be bringing Enyo, the application framework behind webOS, into the Android effort.” Kendrick reports, “Whatever these smart folks end up doing for Google, their departure pretty much puts the kibosh on the open-source webOS effort no matter what HP says. HP is not in a position to make a serious run at the webOS open-source effort. Having just announced the impending layoff of 27,000 employees, HP must be the worst place to work in any industry… It’s a safe call to say that webOS is

WebOS: Dead? Oh, Sure, Almost Certainly — But Not Definitely
Techland

In January of 2009, Palm unveiled WebOS, its next-generation mobile operating system. A lot of us got really, really excited over it. It turned out, however, that WebOS’s launch day was its first and only moment of unalloyed glory. The Palm Pre turned out to be a disappointment. And then HP bought Palm and killed the TouchPad tablet and all other WebOS hardware after two months — a move which looked like it probably spelled curtains for WebOS, period. HP did say that it was going to open-source WebOS and continue to devote meaningful resources to the software. But The Verge’s Chris Ziegler has a scoop: He’s reporting that the core team responsible for a large chunk of WebOS is leaving HP to go work at Google. ZDNet’s James Kendrick says that this is the final, irreversible, definite end of WebOS: It’s a safe call to say that webOS is finally dead in reality, if not in name. Such a sad end for what could have been a revolutionary mobile OS. RIP webOS. I

This Is How webOS Dies
Mike Cane’s xBlog

The Enyo team moves to Google I’ve been really careful to keep my mouth shut and not say anything that would sour the chances of webOS and Enyo, but you can guess given I was one of the first rats off this leaking ship that (a) I didn’t think much of the chances of success, and (b) this announcement doesn’t surprise me one bit. Both are true; I wanted to be wrong, but I can’t see any real future to Enyo or webOS under HP at this point, too much of the talent is gone. I’ll give HP and Meg full credit for doing whatever they could to try to make it work, but the HP culture is fundamentally broken in many ways and hostile to the words “nimble” and “innovation”, and both of those were needed for this to have any real chance of success. My view: “it’s dead, Jim”. I’ve been looking forward to Open webOS. I’ve wanted to see it out there and packaged in a way that it could be installed on an Android tablet. Hey, maybe even on a Nook Touch. And other things too. Now it seems that ev

Google Nabs Key Members Of HP’s Enyo Team, But Open WebOS Is Still “On Schedule”
TechCrunch

It looks like the webOS contingent at HP isn’t done losing people. HP laid off 275 webOS employees back in February shortly after they announced their plans for the Open webOS project, and now their Enyo team is being picked apart. The Verge reported late last night that key members of the Enyo team have left their posts at HP, and will migrate over to Google. Enyo, in case you’re not steeped in webOS lore, is a JavaScript framework that allows devs to “build and maintain HTML5 applications of any size and complexity” that debuted alongside the ill-fated TouchPad. Considering that the platform is meant to help devs create platform-agnostic apps that can be tailored either for the web or for a mobile device, the team behind it apparently made for an enticing target for Google. Though initial rumblings made it seem like the entire team up and left, it’s since been revealed that only a handful of HP employees will be making the transition. AllThingsD reported last night

Why “Tags” are important in wordpress???
geekwithgadget

Tags provide a useful way to group related posts together and to quickly tell readers what a post is about. Tags also make it easier for people to find your content. Tags are similar to, but more specific than, categories. The use of tags is completely optional. For more information on the differences between tags and categories please check out this support doc. Depending on the theme and widgets you have activated, tags can be displayed at the top or bottom of posts, on the individual post view, and/or in the sidebar. You can assign multiple tags per post. Adding Tags via the Tags Module You can assign and/or add new tags to posts before you publish them using the Post Tags module to the bottom right of the post editor:     You can add tags one at a time by clicking the Add button or hitting the Enter/Return key on your keyboard after typing each tag. Or you can add multiple tags at a time by separating them with a comma as you type.     To remove a tag from the p

HP webOS Enyo team is going Google
9to5Google

The Verge: The HP team responsible for Enyo — webOS’s HTML5-based application framework that debuted on the TouchPad — will be leaving the company and starting at Google shortly, The Verge has learned. What this means for the future of Open webOS is unclear; Enyo and the developers supporting it are central to HP’s open source strategy for the operating system going forward, and it’s hard to say whether this move will have any effect on the planned late 2012 release for version 1.0. It is pretty clear that webOS is over. With similar roots in Linux, the team could probably do some good with Google’s Android and Chrome products.

How to Save them
Devil`s Words

  I hate to admit but those companies that are dying right now, I will miss them. There are methods to keep them alive for a bit more time, so I am gonna try to see if I can come up with scenarios to save these companies 1. HP HP is still one of the biggest PC manufacturer, but two years ago HP bought Palm for few million dollars to be part of Plam`s WebOS devices. The purchase was not a mistake as HP knew lot of good hardware designing and have done some Mobile development with Microsoft’s long dead Windows Phone 6 (Could be earlier versions). So where did they go wrong? Remember March(I believe) of last year? HP had this crazy fire sale of their HP TouchPad. Well the TouchPad was design to be great competitor to the original iPad but came out after iPad 2 came out… After this fail HP went through some cleaning and hired new CEO. This CEO doesn’t seem to be qualified CEO as she was a former candidate for Californian Mayor. Up to this time The new CEO have made s

TouchUI: The Misunderstood Paradigm Excerpts
The Chronicles of NoiVad

Part 1 of my 2 part article on TouchUI is now up on DiceNews. In it I talk about the current state of TouchUI in the setting of responding to Josh Clark’s views on it. I want to make it perfectly clear, I think he is on the right track. However, he seems to miss some of what we have learned about user interfaces the past 25+ years. In order to fit in the format, I pulled a section of the article where I brainstormed about how I believe a TouchUI should work as a foundation for adding custom gestures and interfaces. There are probably problems with some of these ideas, but it is just a cursory glance at what a baseline UI should have. I am throwing it in here for your consideration. As always: intelligent feedback is welcome. Some are obviously inspired (“ripped off”) from WebOS, and some are from Android and iOS. However, for the most part a cohesive convention of how things should be done that is translatable to all manner of touch screens has not emerged. This is my “first” public sw

HP back to tablets and know with windows 8
bigbigtech

In July 2011 HP had launched the webOS TouchPadtablet, kwind The new Windows 8 Start Screen, making use of flat, colored live tiles and a full bleed canvas as used in Windows Phone and Xbox 360 Dashboard. (Photo credit: Wikipedia) now HP  is invest in tablets with the Windows 8 OS, which will likely appeal to consumers and businesses more than webOS did. Few weeks ago HP  had a tablet called the Slate 8 that was running on windows 8 that was the biggest leak from HP on the web.  I cant wait for the tablet to come out if you have any questions about then just leave a comment below.
