In an announcement on their blog yesterday, The Enyo Team has released the Mochi user interface (UI) for open source development. The early look at Mochi came when The Verge published an article we covered here on pivotCE earlier this year. With everyone’s interests piqued, the fine folks working on Enyo development offered to open source. Now that it’s available, users may eventually be able to run the UI on legacy webOS devices, and it looks and feels like webOS 3.1.
In a surprise announcement today, Google confirmed they were going to develop the webOS mobile operating system – the critically praised, but ultimately abandoned project created by Palm Inc., before being sold, then cancelled by HP in it’s recent turbulent period.

Hey! Look who stopped by today for a quick exclusive interview with pivotCE! Leo Apotheker!
Some might say it’s a far stretch to call him a developer but oh nonono! He is much more of a developer for webOS than you give him credit for! Don’t believe me? For shame! Read on and you’ll see just what he gave the fans in the way of his webOS “development”.
There is another meet up in San Francisco. If you are an Enyo developer and in the area on the 26th of March, you can join in! The venue is the LG Silicon Valley Lab. There is pizza on offer courtesy of Enda McGrath, Director of Developer Relations. To me, that sounds like pizza, a chance to play with those new, big, webOS TVs & of course, learning more about Enyo from the experts that built it.
If you can’t make the date or are too far away, the Enyo team are willing to help you organise your own meet ups (according to Twitter).
If you’re one of the lucky ones to own an HP TouchPad Go and are like me, opening up the box and getting your hands on this rare piece of technology left you with the sudden realization that you had absolutely no way to protect it. After the shock subsided, I ran to the computer to search options. It seems there were in fact cases made but were manufactured in such low quantities that enthusiasts are at a loss for how to get their hands on one. Then I found a TouchPad Go Case for sale. Turns out webOS Nations forum user, John Steffes, has been custom making cases for almost a year. Considering my lack of options, I contacted him and got myself one. Hit the break for my review.
