In October last year, we became aware of the interest of LG in the Open operating system webOS. Then it was assumed that Korean experts adapt the OS to use in their TVs. LG intentions were serious: today all assets related to the webOS, become the property of the Koreans. The financial side of the transaction were not disclosed.
WebOS current owner is Hewlett-Packard, the operating system was purchased in 2010, from Palm company. HP initially tried to promote the OS itself, but the tablet TouchPad failed.
Experiment with the release of LG mobile devices based on webOS has no plans and focus on adapting the OS for TVs.
