HP releases webOS Community Edition for TouchPads
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHPTouchPad
It was a few months ago when we got word of HP’s plans to release something called a “Community Edition” as an added part to webOS 3.0.5. Now, webOS Community Edition has been released for use on legacy TouchPad tablets. Users will be able to learn how the TouchPad works, make modifications and then eventually apply what they’ve learned to Open webOS 1.0 in the future.
Although the webOS team worked closely alongside the WebOS Internals to release webOS Community Edition, it’s not the same as Open webOS. The release of Open webOS 1.0 is expected to be released in September and will offer developers the ability to port webOS to their own devices and make use of open source technology integrat...

HP tells court Oracle owes billions over breach of contract
Like UnlikeFiled in: HP
HP and Oracle made opening statements yesterday in a trial that could see Oracle paying out billions for what HP claims is a clear breach of contract.
HP says Oracle violated a contract between the two companies when Oracle decided to discontinue development of its database software for HP's Itanium-based servers.
Without continued support from Oracle, HP said, the equipment running on Intel's Itanium chip will become useless.
Oracle, meanwhile, claims that there was no contract concerning their support of Itanium-based servers, and that the "brief, breezy" language cited by HP does not apply to the case at hand.

32 GB TouchPads available again for $194.99
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHPTouchPad
As you know the TouchPad didn’t exactly sell as planned, mostly due to what many viewed as an unjustifiably high price tag on an OS that just didn’t catch fire. It did however skyrocket into fame once firesales began to burn through inventory and it was found that Android could be installed on the tablet.

Google snaps up HP's webOS Enyo team
Like UnlikeFiled in: HPGoogle
HP may have hit the skids, but Google has swooped in and rescued one of its projects.
Google has hired the team working on the webOS Enyo HTML5 development project. About half a dozen people will move from HP to Google, and will start next month.
Enyo is an HTML5 framework for making apps. HP is in the process of making it open-source, meaning anyone can use the tech, much like Google's Android operating system.
There was no deal between Google and HP. Rather, Google hired each worker individually, having been in talks with them over the last month.

HP will make tablets again, this time with Windows 8
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftHPWindows 8
Hewlett-Packard will start making tablets again, and the first new HP tablets will run on Microsoft’s upcoming Windows 8 platform. HP is coming fresh right after it kicked its webOS-based TouchPad tablet into the gutter over poor sales. Now, the company comes back with renewed hopes for Windows 8 tablets.
HP’s chief executive Meg Whitman is restarting production as an attempt to capitalize on “the extraordinary growth in tablet sales.” Most of that, though, we should note, is iPad growth as Apple’s tablet continues to dominate the industry.

An in-depth look into how HP lost its way
Like UnlikeFiled in: HP
By now, the polarizing tenure of Léo Apotheker and HP's fumbled acquisition of Palm have both been well documented, but James Bandler and Doris Burke delve even deeper into the company's history in a lengthy piece for Fortune. The Compaq merger, HP's oft-dysfunctional board of directors, the rise and sudden resignation of former chief executive Mark Hurd, and Meg Whitman's current efforts to steer the industry giant back to its former glory are all examined in detail. Naturally there's also plenty surrounding that abandoned decision to spin off the PC division. Behind-the-scenes fodder only enhances further the troubling portrait of how a tech mainstay lost its way. For example, one HP offic...
