TechCrunch has a great article where they interview Brian Humphries,
HP’s Senior Vice President of Strategy and Corporate Development (that
is a serious title right there).
Here is a great quote:
“This is a great opportunity to take two Silicon Valley idols and
put them together,” Humphries noted. That’s an obvious statement, but he
quickly moved on to the meat. “WebOS is the best-in-class mobile
operating system. Our intent is to double down on webOS,” Humphries said.
Dude…seriously? These quotes are what every webOS developer had ever
wanted to hear. Check this one out:
I asked Humphries to expand a bit about webOS and how it stacks up
to rival mobile OSes made by Apple and Google. I also asked why HP
wouldn’t just develop its own mobile OS as Apple has done? “We think
it’s one of the best operating systems out there today. We see nothing
in development in the next 3 to 5 years that comes close,” Humphries
said. “We want to take HP’s financial strength and use it to take webOS
to the next level,” he continued.
“We’ll compete aggressively in the market with Apple and Google.
We’ve got our hands on a very compelling operating system,” Humphries
concluded. He also noted that the plan is to keep it as open and
friendly to developers as it has been.
WebOS is gonna explode folks…and you have a front row seat. Man this is
exciting.
We are still coming up with our thoughts on all of this… we will have
our ever popular analysis soon.
