A Turning Point for webOS
2011 has been an exciting year for mobile app industry with many dramatic developments, latest being HP’s announcement to make webOS available as open-source software.
HP had acquired the software from ailing Palm at a whooping price of US$1.2 billion in 2010 which had raised hopes of giving webOS a fresh leash of life. But due to lack of vision and clear cut strategy, HP failed to gain market share for webOS and had to announce its decision to discontinue with webOS operations in last August, leaving the future of webOS uncertain.
