HP revives webOS and looking for new developers

Hewlett-Packard Company does not intend to leave the market for mobile operating systems, although previously she said the opposite. Her own project webOS, until recently was considered closed, will develop and gradually become a platform for open source.

HP's plans include a complete "reset» webOS by the end of this year. For the rest of the time she needs to have a lot in time, so at the moment is a set of new software developers, whose experience will help her as soon as possible to provide the public a new webOS - a worthy competitor and Apple iOS, and Google Android.

The official website of Hewlett-Packard section "Jobs" added to the proposals for the work of software engineers, project managers and designers. There are also suggestions on training suitable for those who want to gain experience and work in a large company with a worldwide reputation. All this is contrary to the earlier actions of HP: just a few months ago, she has reduced the staff of developers working on webOS, firing 270 people. Now she wants to recruit 12 new employees, and, apparently, it needs really experienced people who can replace the nearly three hundred laid-off. Of course, it is financially beneficial to the company, but it has turned into a collapse of the whole idea of ​​releasing a new webOS at the end of the year?
To date, there are three webOS serious competitor - it is mentioned earlier Apple iOS and Google Android, and Windows Phone operating system authored by Microsoft. Do not forget about the Canadian BlackBerry OS platform from a company RIM, despite the fact that its tenth version was not very happy and accepted by the public shareholders and its future is not defined yet.

Initially the system webOS owned company called Palm and Palm OS. It is installed on smartphones and PDAs, including a series of models Pre, while in the 2010 Hewlett Packard does not absorb Palm, with its development. After renaming webOS she was appearing on smartphones and tablet PCs under the brand HP. Now the American manufacturer does not issue a temporary portable devices, however, prepared to return to the market.
