"We're a different company that focuses on software, user experience, cloud, engineering and partnerships," writes Martin Risau, vice president of HP, stating that the mission of the team " remains the same. " Presented as a strategic redeployment, for the moment in "stealth mode" until the company finishes its incubation period, this should provide a Gram-off activity faster, outside the constraints of the parent.
Having abandoned the production of its mobile devices in 2011 (which is why the company had bought Palm a year earlier to $ 1.2 billion), HP made its division vivoter WebOS. The company was first reorganized in internal engineers to place the WebOS and marketing team under the direction of strategic department.
In December 2011, rather than draw a line adventure WebOS, the U.S. had chosen to release its mobile operating system , so it can be exploited by the open source community, announcing want to "move toward a new generation of applications and devices. " Three months later, the division WebOS knew a degreasing : 275 job cuts. Finally last May, several engineers left HP to join Google ...
Despite these injuries, the American continued to promise that he would keep afloat WebOS, indicating even want to recruit additional staff. A statement confirmed by mail from Martin Risau that prompts the team WebOS to "operate its network, to help HP to recruit the brightest."
Meanwhile the actual deployment of Gram, developers seem to respect the roadmap published in January and plan the launch of a beta of Open WebOS by September.
