HP Making webOS Open Source

Posted by Soulskill on from the had-it-in-the-palm-of-their-hand dept.

Several readers sent word of HP's announcement that the company will be contributing webOS to the open source community. According to HP's press release, they will continue to be active in webOS's development, and one of their goals will be to avoid fragmentation. ENYO, the application framework for webOS, will also go open source in the near future.

    You want to run a modern OS on a 16mhz processor with a 320x320 screen? Good luck with that.

    That said, I did love my IIIc back in the day.

    This is a company dumping dead code that it doesn't have any more use for.

    Didn't HP recently say they planned on using it in printers?

    No, that was last week.
