LG has acquired the WebOS department from HP earlier in February this year. Other than receiving the source codes and relevant documents for WebOS, they also re-employed their engineering team and reused the website. Many rumours stated that LG will be using the OS for their Smart TVs. It seems that these rumours were indeed true.
A few days ago, LG’s researcher Hong Sung-pyo leaked that the new WebOS based smart televisions will be shown off to the world at CES 2014. Each television unit will be paired with a 2.2GHz dual core CPU with 1.5GB of RAM and will be compatible with various features.
Hong also stated that LG has decided to revive Palm/HP ‘s Enyo development environment. Enyo is an open source Javascript cross platform development architecture. Currently, LG has already looked for 3rd party collaborations for development of apps on the Enyo platform.
