WebOS application developers should be interested
It's no secret that today a fairly limited number of applications are available to owners of Palm webOS-based devices. The relative novelty of the platform itself, the not very large audience of users, the debugged mechanism for publishing applications in the App Catalog - because of all these factors, developers still prefer to make products for other platforms.
But soon everything should change. According to Shane Robison, HP Director of Technology, making developers interested in updating the webOS software catalog is one of the company's main goals, and HP is working tirelessly.
The company plans to unite a wide range of different devices under the webOS flag: from tablets to smartphones and printers. And on all these devices the user will work with a single interface, in a familiar environment.
“We supply more than 50 million printers per year. This cannot fail to attract the attention of developers, ” says Shane. HP is also preparing many new products in the segment of tablets and other mobile devices, which is now rapidly being covered by other vendors.
In addition to a potentially large audience, developers should be interested in working for completely new devices. For example, says Robison, models with a small detachable tablet module will appear in the HP printer line. Perhaps this is the mysterious HP eStation Zeen, which the other daywrote Engadget . But rumors that this will be an Android tablet, Shane does not confirm. “There are no Android devices in the plan at the moment,” he says again.
Let me remind you that HP Zeen, according to rumors, will be a tablet-reader, closely integrated with the new HP Zeus printer and the services of the Barnes & Noble bookstore .
