Since HP released the source code for Open webOS, we’ve seen developers port the operating system to run on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus and other devices such as the Asus Transformer Prime tablet.

LG could launch a smart TV powered by Open webOS
Now that HP has released an open source version of the webOS operating system, it’s available for pretty much anyone to mold to fit their needs.

Now you can install Open webOS alpha on a Samsung Galaxy Nexus
The webOS Ports team has released instructions for installing an alpha build of open webOS on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus smartphone. Open webOS is the open source version of HP’s webOS operating system for phones, tablets, and other devices. At this point, the open webOS build for the Galaxy Nexus is slow, buggy, and generally […]
Take Open webOS for a spin with a LiveCD
We’ve already seen that HP’s Open webOS software can run on a wide range of devices including the Samsung Galaxy Nexus smartphone, Asus Transformer Pad tablet, and B&N NOOK Color (although surprisingly I have yet to see anyone port it to run on the HP TouchPad).

Open webOS ported to the Samsung Galaxy Nexus
That didn’t take long. Just hours after HP released the source code for Open webOS 1.0, the folks at webOS Ports have managed to get the operating system up and running on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus smartphone. This is still an early build. There’s no support for hardware accelerated graphics, which means that the user […]
HP releases Open webOS 1.0
The first open source version of HP’s webOS operating system is now available. HP is releasing Open webOS 1.0 a little over a year after the company cancelled every phone and tablet designed to run earlier versions of webOS. In other words, webOS lives on… you just can’t buy any devices that run the operating […]
Android for the HP Touchpad finally gets a (partially) working camera
It’s been more than a year since HP discontinued the first and only webOS tablet, and hackers have been running Google Android on the HP TouchPad for almost as long. Since then we’ve seen every major version of Android ported to run on HP’s hardware. But there’s always been one problem: Nobody’s managed to get […]
