14 DAY TRIAL // A while ago, LG bought the rights to webOS from HP, which failed to do anything with it after, in turn, buying Palm, the company that invented it. Now, the operating system is being refashioned from a mobile software system to one for TVs.
According to ZDNet, LG will reveal a smart TV at the 2014 edition of the Consumer Electronics Show.
Well, it will probably reveal more than a single Smart TV, but the one we're concerned with is the model running webOS. The one that will have to compete against such services/devices as Apple TV, Chromecast, Google TV, and Roku.
It's bound to have some kind of web browser, as well as some apps made specifically for it, like a Netflix application and maybe one for Youtube, or online image hosting sites. Maybe even for social networks.
The TV will have a 2.2 GHz dual-core CPU and 1.5 GB of RAM for the OS to stretch over.
