Software Introduction

Palm WebOS is a new generation of operating system, which has unprecedented scalability through network clients. The Palm Web OS platform was developed by Jon Rubenstein, a former Apple executive, and Palm Pre is the first smartphone to use Web OS.

On the human-computer interface, Web OS is very friendly, which enhances the touch experience. In addition, strengthening the wireless interconnection function is also an important feature of the new system. In addition, it supports the unified search function of web content and data in mobile phones, and can handle multiple online tasks at the same time, which is also worth looking forward to.

Web OS is a new mobile phone system after Palm OS and BlackBerry OS, The Web OS interface is very simple. For example, Web OS has many applications, but usually only four applications are displayed on the screen: "phone, contact, email, calendar". When the user clicks the hide/show button at the lower right corner, other applications on the screen will be displayed, including SMS, web browser, camera, photos, music, video, notepad, task management Map, calculator and other applications. The Palm Pre features a large touch screen that allows users to easily scroll through the list of screens with their fingers.

In addition, Palm Pre also has a new Synergy synchronization system function, which can automatically manage users' multiple contact networks. Users only need to log into Google, Outlook and Facebook accounts, and Palm will separate and save the data of these networks. However, users can get instant messages from multiple services in a unified way, which is very user-friendly. Palm Pre's web browser is based on Webkit, which has a comfortable interface and supports multi tab browsing.

Palm Pre also has a Google Android like "pop up" notification system. If there is a new message when other software is running, it will automatically resize so that you can see the message content. The Dock toolbar of Palm Pre can also customize application shortcut launch items. In addition, Palm Pre also supports Microsoft's Exchange Enterprise Mail function.

In terms of application development, the advantage of the new system is that any developer familiar with CSS, HTML, XML and Javascript programming can start applications for the operating system without learning a new programming language. This can open up a large number of applications for Palm Pre developers, and Palm Pre will have more applications in the future.

Palm Mojo Application Framework

Mojo is convenient for developing Palm WebOS applications. It is a new application framework based on HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript standards. These standard web developers are already very familiar and favorite. WebOS applications can be directly installed and run on handheld devices to access a wider range of device servers.
Mojo brings you:
1) Guide, transfer, roll and other more intuitive building procedures
2) You can use the webos notification system to warn users not to interrupt
3) HTML5 is stored locally, allowing users to use data when they are offline. This is good news for developers. There are many ways to extract data from palmos data files in pdb format to your new webos application. In this way, more resources can be transferred from palmos to webos.

The Palm Mojo SDK

Based on the mojo application framework, the SDK provides simple code, files and development tools. Interactive data input based on Eclipse will also be included. You can choose tools to build webos applications. Currently, the mojo SDK is pre released internally, and will be available for free download when the test is mature.

LG announced the launch of the open source version of webOS, still seeking to commercialize it

At present, only Android and iOS are left in the mainstream mobile operating systems. More than a decade ago, mobile operating systems were in full bloom, such as Symbian of Nokia, WinCE of Microsoft, BBOS of Blackberry, Palm OS of HP, etc. Later, HP's Palm OS became webOS, and then webOS was acquired by LG and used for smart TV, Internet of Things and other LG devices. Although LG continues to deploy webOS to their products, we haven't heard about webOS for a long time. But recently, LG announced the launch of the open source version of webOS, similar to the HP era

How LG screwed up the webOS acquisition

At this year's CES, LG displayed the webOS smart TV, which is highly praised by the media. It seems that it is a successful deal to acquire webOS from HP. Half a year later, there was no news of webOS smart TV, a large number of employees in webOS department left their jobs, and the acquisition of webOS became a failed experiment. Janko Roettgers interviewed current and former webOS employees to find out what happened to LG. LG acquired webOS and established LG Silicon Valley Laboratory in 2013, but one third of its employees left after the acquisition. One of the challenges LG Silicon Valley faces is some kind of cultural conflict. LG has a policy that makes the Silicon Valley team especially

Self made community has been open source. Recently, WQI (webos quick install) just released the source code to open source. As early as 2009, WQI released by Jason Robitalle is the software that webos users must install after they buy their mobile phones.

Webcast Huawei follows up webOS

Recently, a friend revealed that he was interviewed by Huawei's System Engineering Department and learned that Huawei is following up the open source development of Webos.

Previously, WebosNation announced on April Fool's Day that Samsung would save Webos, which was later confirmed to be a "fool".

Sina Science and Technology News On the morning of January 26, HP announced the development plan of the WebOS open source project on Wednesday. According to this plan, HP will launch Open WebOS 1.0 at the end of September this year.

By combining the WebOS platform with the development capability of the open source code community, HP hopes to test and improve the application and web services of the next generation devices. The plan announced by HP on Wednesday includes some phases of the WebOS open source project from January to September
