Hewlett-Packard webOS abandoned by their new and future Tablet PCs

One of the biggest IT company Hewlett-Packard announced that it will continue development of their tablet PCs and smart phones that used the operating system WebOS. WebOS is a mobile operating system that runs on Linux kernel and originally developed by Palm, a company that was later acquired by Hewlett-Packard for 1.2 billion dollars.

Besides stopping the support of webOS, Hewlett-Packard also announced it would stop production of tablet PCs and smart phones. The news means the end of HP Veer, HP TouchPad, and Palm Pre announced third Weak sales of HP TouchPad, objaven on July 1, less than two months, is one of the reasons for this move. From the start, HP TouchPad on Tues Britain has sold only 100 devices, and in Europe only 700 devices. For comparison the first iPad sell 1 million times in the first 28 days, a date Apple has sold over 25 million tablet PCs.

Hewlett-Packard says it will continue to seek options for how best to use this operating system, and continue to develop. The company said it will seek partners to lincenira WebOS, but it is unlikely that any company would arose such a thing. When the WebOS, many saw it as good as the operating system of Apple, iOS, and now that there is a great opportunity to stop there is really a shock to many loyal customers.

Characteristic of WebOS is that, unlike other operating systems, is based on the cloud that is not using a desktop program to sync and update data, it is done online.
