hp将webos开源之后，只听到消息lg将其应用到平板电视中，其他的相关信息鲜有发布。touchpad也从自己手里变成了pdf和word文档的阅读器。想对于当年99美元的价格，到目前还是物超所值的。翻看邮箱，发现收到一封邮件”webOS Cloud Services to end soon“，邮件内容如下：
As previously announced, cloud services support for webOS devices was to end on January 15, 2015. To assist customers in transitioning in new services, we have decided to extend the shutdown date by two months. The new end date is March 15, 2015
We appreciate our customers’ loyalty to the webOS platform. But now, more than three (3) years after the last device was sold, only a small fraction of the devices are still connecting. Therefore, the time has come to shut down the services.
All devices running webOS will continue to run after the cloud services are terminated. However, they will no longer be able to:
- Download new apps or updates. The HP App Catalog will be unavailable after the shutdown
- Backup or restore devices from the cloud
- Setup new devices
- Recover lost passwords
What this means to you:
- The HP App Catalog no longer supports new app purchases as of November 1, 2014.
- Updates may have been posted by developers until November 10, 2014 and users can download any available updates until the services shut down
- You should make arrangements to backup or transfer your contacts, etc.prior to the service shutdown on March 15, 2015
- You will no longer be able to backup, restore, reset or initialize a webOS device as of March 15, 2015.
There will be additional reminders as the new date for final shutdown approaches. An FAQ can be found at https://developer.palm.com/
Timeline
- 10/15/14 Announcement to users and developers COMPLETE
- 11/1/14 New app purchases end COMPLETE
- 11/10/14 App update submissions end
- 3/15/15 Public shutdown of services
HP webOS Cloud Services
意思大概是，3月15日之后，彻底放弃支持之前所有webos的设备。不过相较于上次更新证书，这一天也经预测到了，毕竟hp是一家企业，不是非盈利组织。webos开源已经是hp对于开源世界最大的贡献了，还在使用webos设备的童鞋们要做好备份了，将数据同步回来，或者拷贝到电脑中，以免损失重要数据。
