webOS has long since passed from the battleground that is the mobile operating system atmosphere. It’s been four long years since the last official webOS version, 3.0.5 for the HP Touchpad was released. However, reports are now surfacing from former HP employees about an unreleased version of webOS that was axed by then-CEO Leo Apotheker due to a bizarre bug. We’ll tell you more past the jump!
Foxcasts app for LuneOS
Former webOS developer, Garret Downs did much good work for the community until bowing out just over two years ago.
Now he’s back with a new app for LuneOS! Originally developed for FirefoxOS, Foxcasts is a podcast app.
At this point, support extends only to audio streaming from the itunes library, with plans to add downloading and video in the future. The type of database used is unsupported on legacy webOS, so this app is for LuneOS only. Podcast options for webOS are of course already available.
Until he has a device for LuneOS, Garret is testing in the emulator and wants your help. If you are one of those taking the trouble to test the development of the LuneOS development builds, give it a spin and offer your feedback.
