At a semiconductor event in Seoul, Korea, LG researcher Hong Sung-pyo said that LG’s first webOS product will be unveiled at CES  2014. The  television will run on a 2.2GHz dual-core processor with 1.5GB of RAM. Although it in not yet clear that in what form the webOS will shape-up, LG states that it is currently revising Enyo(open-source JavaScript framework for cross-platform applications) used by Palm and HP for phones and tablets.

The supporting operating system is also expected to introduce “cards” for powerful multitasking. The new changes are intended to enable the users to fully utilize the smart functionality of their TVs. It is hoped that webOS will encourage people to use LG’s software over a third-party Apple TV, Roku, or Chromecast. Will LG’s idea win?! Wait for CES!
