HP webOS is a next-generation mobile operating system designed around an

incredibly fast and intuitive user experience and optimized for the multitasking user

It is designed to run on a variety of hardware with different screen sizes, resolutions,

and orientations, with or without keyboards

The user interface and application model are built around web technology which

means the range of suitable hardware platforms is quite wide, requiring only a

CPU, some memory, a wireless data connection, a display, and a means for interacting

with the UI and entering text

It includes a number of core applications:

contacts, calendar, tasks, memos, phone, browser, email and messaging

Other applications are included in the initial release, such as a camera, photo

viewer, audio/video player and map application

Initially developed by Palm, which was later acquired by HP
