HP demonstrating Enyo for Palm’s webOS

HP showcased  its upcoming, tablet-friendly JavaScript framework Enyo for mobile operating system webOS, released by Palm, which it has acquired earlier this April. Aimed to replace the already existing Mojo for 2011, Enyo carries improvements in three areas including performance, ease to use and the development of apps and UIs which can run on different products and screens.

“During the speech, the company demonstrated a proof-of-concept e-mail application running in Google’s Chrome browser, and the audience applauded when the user interface automatically adapted with the size of the window, to show more information in a larger window…Developing applications should also become easier using Enyo.”

The amount of code required to build a given app will be allegedly reduced with Enyo, as it is aimed to allow developers build more flexible user interfaces. Furthermore, apps which now load for close to 10on Palm’s webOS are expected to load for 1 second, as HP Palm business unit senior VP Matthew McNulty says.

HP has big plans for Palm, as we mentioned here. On top of hinting – again at this webOS developer day – at additional non-Smartphone products running on webOS expected to launch early next year, Hewlett-Packard is making serious steps towards further progressing into the iOS- and Android-dominated mobile market.  This may be a tough nut to crack for the computer maker, but the company seems to be very eager to outmatch its competition with an ever-expanding array of mobile and Palm related offerings.
