“Our goal is to focus resources and efforts to make WebOS as the operating system best,” said Todd Bradley, executive vice president of HP, as reported by PC Magazine, Sunday (07/25/2010). WebOS is the latest plam smartphone platform currently used on sail-touch smartphone and Palm Smartphone Palm Pre.
