It of course wasn't feeble conducting program that killed the TouchPad.
Sources at The Next Web reports that HP's webOS group hacked an iPad 2 to run the program - and it finished up running more than twice as swift on Apple's inscription as on the TouchPad.
Even before the TouchPad inscription or Pre smartphone were strictly released, the webOS developer group was so fed up with HP's muted hardware that they "wanted them gone."
HP rocked the tech world yesterday when it voiced the firm would no longer be producing webOS hardware , inclusive the TouchPad inscription and Pre smartphones, after appropriation Palm final year for $1.2 billion. The webOS program could still be protected to third-party manufacturers. HP CEO Leo Apotheker cited insufficient of traction in the marketplace as a leading reason for abandoning the mobile operation.
The group of developers moreover deployed webOS inside of the iPad's Mobile Safari browser and got likewise rapid results. The TouchPad features a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor with A8 architecture, whilst the iPad 2 houses a dual-core A5 fragment formed on the faster Cortex-A9 architecture.
According to The Next Web :
The hardware reportedly stopped the group from innovating over particular points since it was slow and imposed constraints, that was highlighted when webOS was installed on to Apple's iPad device and found to run the stage significantly faster than the device for that it was originally developed.
I privately checked out the HP Veer when it debuted, and we found webOS to be unequivocally invigorating and intuitive. My principal problems with the device were unquestionably hardware-based: not sufficient memory, and not a absolute sufficient processor.
