Webos Enyo

If you've been following the webos news, if you've not got a webos device you're probably not going to keep up with the news as it never comes to the mainstream technology news. i keep up with Webosnation.com roughly everyday, it may not get updated like the other sites like Technobuffalo or T3 but it just shows that the love for webos is still alive and people aren't ditching a great operating system.
That's where i'd like to talk about, even though Webos got killed over 9 months ago, there are people that are still using the touchpad on webos because the love for the operating system is amazing and even though it's not got that many apps in the apps. The love for the operating system is still alive with Enyo.
Enyo is the project name for Open source webos. all throughout the year they've been bringing updates on how it's doing. They've been bringing out little tweaks as well from Preware is which a Cydia style app store for Webos. Several websites that have partenered with some of the developers of Enyo have brought out forums to bring suggestions to what they want to see on webos in september when it arrives onto our webos devices.
One of and many many more amazing features on Enyo is the developers have chosen something that will really help the operating system out and it's one of the things that really killed of webos in the first place and that's apps. Webos Enyo 1.0 will feature a new coding system that will support Android Apps, iOS apps. Apk's and Ipks will all be able to run on Webos devices. Enyo will even feature HTML5 support so youtube videos will run smoothly with no risk of quick battery life with flash being enabled.
I can't stretch this enough, When Enyo comes out there's going to be a lot of companies who will take one look at webos and they'll want them to incorperate it into their phones after all webos has been open sourced to any company can come along and pick up Webos free of charge.
I think we've forgot what an operating system is like. Ever since the arrival of the app store on iOS, i think we've forgot what a device should be like. Just think for one moment, An Iphone without apps, would it really be that good. Sure before the arrival of the app store, we had phones like the Sony ericsson K800i and other phones that ran JavaOs as it's basis operating system.


Thanks for reading and i'll probably be updating the blog later when i've gathered enough information about the microsoft event.
