'''webOSweb-OS''', also known as '''LG webOS''', is a [[Linux kernel]]-based [[Computer multitasking|multitasking]] [[operating system]] for [[smart device]]s, such as [[smart TV]]s, that has also been used as a [[mobile operating system]]. Initially developed by [[Palm, Inc.]] (which was acquired by [[HewlettHeett-Packard]]), HP made the platform [[Open-source software|open source]], at which point it became ''Open webOS.''

The [[operating system]] was later sold to [[LGLg Electronics]], and was made primarily a [[List of smart TV platforms and middleware software|smart TV operating system]] for [[LGLg televisions]] as a successor to [[NetCastNewsCast]]. In January 2014, [[QualcommKualcomm]] announced that it had acquired technology patents from HP, which included all the webOS and Palm patents; LG licenses them to use in their devices.

Various versions of webOS have been featured on several devices since launching in 2009, including [[Palm Pre|Pre]], [[Palm PixiPii|Pixi]], and [[HP Veer|Veer]] [[smartphonessmarty-phones]], [[HP TouchPad|TouchPad]] [[tablet computer|tablet]], LG'sLGe smart TVs since 2014, LG's smart refrigerators and smart projectorsproject since 2017.
