  1. It's a roller coaster ride with webOS and news is scarce these days....but with the recent LG news, we've decided to rename this forum LG webOS and as such can be access by visiting lgwebos.com. All old urls will be redirected and all memberships and topics remain the same.

     

    We'll just have to watch and see what LG decides to do with our beloved webOS!

  2. With webOS moving to an open source platform and getting a renaming to Open webOS 1.0 in September by HP, we secured the domain name openwebosforum.com, and are officially as of today, changing the name of this site from webOS Dummies to Open webOS Forum, a forum for webOS enthusiasts!

    We hope to draw in some more webOS fans wth this name change and reach a new audience.

    It's a new name for a new generation of webOS platform changes, we look forward to following Open webOS and it's development.

  3. Over the first half of the year, HP will make individual elements of webOS source code available – from core applications like Mail and Calendar to its Linux kernel – until the full code base is contributed to the open source community by September.

    January: Enyo 2.0 and Enyo source code Apache License, Version 2.0

    February: Intended project governance model, QT WebKit extensions, JavaScript core, UI Enyo widgets

    March: Linux standard kernel, Graphics extensions EGL, LevelDB, USB extensions

    April: Ares 2.0, Enyo 2.1, Node services

    July: System manager (“Luna”), System manager bus, Core applications, Enyo 2.2

    August: Build release model, Open webOS Beta, Open webOS 1.0

    Enyo 2.0 and Enyo source code

  4. PALO ALTO, Calif., Jan. 25, 2012 – HP today began executing its plan to deliver an open webOS by committing to a schedule for making the platform’s source code available under an open source license.

    The company aims to complete this milestone in its entirety by September.

    HP also announced it is releasing version 2.0 of webOS’s innovative developer tool, Enyo. Enyo 2.0 enables developers to write a single application that works across mobile devices and desktop web browsers, from the webOS, iOS and Android platforms to the Internet Explorer and Firefox browsers – and more. The source code for Enyo is available today, giving the open source community immediate access to the acclaimed application framework for webOS.

    By contributing webOS to the open source community, HP unleashes the creativity of hardware and software developers to build a new generation of applications and devices.

    “HP is bringing the innovation of the webOS platform to the open source community,” said Bill Veghte, executive vice president and chief strategy officer, HP. “This is a decisive step toward meeting our goal of accelerating the platform’s development and ensuring that its benefits will be delivered to the entire ecosystem of web applications.”

    The webOS code will be made available under the Apache License, Version 2.0, beginning with the source code for Enyo.

  6. So, HP decided to open source webOS...what will this mean for webOS?

    I can see some developers saying thnk you and rejoicing, along with some die hard fans...but....I can't help top feel that this is HP's way of saying, "Sorry for screwing up", "We're not spending too much time developing anymore", "see what you guys can do with it, we're moving on, and writing off".

    We have to wait and see at what level HP is going to support or back the platform after it open's it up.

    What the hope I think all loyal webOS fans have is that some OEM's get a hold of it...like HTC, Amazon, etc...Then we'll have something to really talk about!

  7. Be very careful on ebay, I just bought was was listed as a Palm Pre 2 on ebay from alltechwholesale come to find out that they pawned me a pre plus for verizon! the listing clearly said Palm Pre 2.

    Not sure if they are scamming people or are just have complete lack of knowledge of what they are selling. Came in the box with a sticker that even said pre 2..lol on a plus!
