WebOS gets another shot at life thanks to LG Electronics.
LG is acquiring WebOS from Hewlett-Packard, with the intention to use the
operating system not for its mobile phones, but in its smart televisions.
With the deal, LG obtains the source code for WebOS, related documentation,
engineering talent, and related WebOS Web sites. LG also gets HP licenses
for use with its WebOS products, and patents HP obtained from Palm. The
financial terms of the deal weren't disclosed.
The acquisition marks the end of a sad chapter of WebOS, an operating system
that many saw promise in, but was badly mismanaged by HP. Initially hailed
as the potential savior of Palm, it was seemingly bailed out by HP before it
quickly pulled the plug on its mobile initiative last year. Its mobile
products, including a revamped Pre and the infamous TouchPad tablet.
LG has no intent to use WebOS for its smartphones, with the company largely
focused on Android as its mobile operating system of choice. Indeed, much of
the WebOS team members that work on the various mobile products at HP has
already left, according to a person familiar with the deal.
Many predicted the death of WebOS after HP opted to dump it into the open-
source graveyard. Despite claims of continued support by the company, it was
essentially left for dead.
Instead, LG will use WebOS to power its future televisions. The deal isn't a
complete surprise, with LG already reportedly looking at the platform for
use in its products. In fact, the company had been eying WebOS for a while.
"It creates a new path for LG to offer an intuitive user experience and
Internet services across a range of consumer electronics devices," said
Skott Ahn, president and chief technology officer of LG Electronics Inc.
LG said the WebOS team will make up the "heart and soul" of the new LG
Silicon Valley Lab, with its Sunnyvale, Calif., and San Francisco sites
joining LG's global R&D locations in the Valley, alongside WebOS offices in
San Jose and Chicago.
Good news for Palm users: LG said it would continue to support them.
