What is "webos"

WebOS, also known as Open WebOS or LG WebOS, (previously known as HP WebOS and Palm WebOS, stylized as webOS) is a Linux kernel-based multitask operating system for smart devices like TVs and smartwatches. It was formerly a mobile operating system. Initially developed by Palm (which was acquired by Hewlett-Packard), HP made the platform open source, at which point it became Open WebOS. The operating system was later sold to LG Electronics. HP still held many patents related to WebOS. In January 2014, Qualcomm has announced that it has acquired technology patents from HP, which includes all the WebOS patents.

Various versions of WebOS have been featured on several devices, including Pre, Pixi, and Veer smartphones, TouchPad tablet, LG Smart TVs since 2015, and smartwatches including LG Watch Urbane and the Audi smartwatch.
