Samsung is the largest manufacturer of devices on Android, which at the same time does not prevent her from trying to advance on their gadgets and the alternative system – Tizen. The company is not even her own, but only part of the Association Consortium. LG, apparently thought that she, too, would be nice to have a “fallback” and remembered acquired in 2013 WebOS.

According to The Verge, on the site, owned by LG, there was the release of a teaser developer tools for WebOS SmartWatch.

In LG already has two models of “smart” hours working on Android Wear on Google – square and round G Watch G Watch R. And second, by the way, have caused consumers decent interest. In short, the company is an active participant in the wearable electronics, and perhaps, like Samsung, does not want to depend on throughout Google. And considering the fact that this sector is just beginning to develop, it is not silly is the idea of ​​its own operating system, knocks out the lead.

However, due to the transition team of designers WebOS interface to work in the Pebble , the current status of the development of WebOS SmartWatch is unclear, but she is not keen on LG to shed light on this question, commenting on the situation as follows: “We have a lot of LG initiatives. Most of them never see the light.”

Not very encouraging. By the way, and the site was the cause of all of the conversations, it is currently not open.

And as you look at these steps manufacturers? Whether they should think about their own OS or better to use ready-made ecosystem of Google?

The range of “smart” watches LG G Watch certainly turned out successful ( review of the first model is no longer even on our website). But now, according to The Verge, the Koreans began to work on the new device, but this time under the control of “eternal perspective” webOS (hopefully, Google was not offended that their Android Wear a little pushed aside).

Information about the new clock appeared on a special site for developers LG (now this section has been removed). On the teaser lit character Bean Bird, which did Koreans used in advertising “smart” TV on webOS. But now the emphasis is on a device that takes the form of hours (by the way, to order all the geeks, they are round).

At the time of formation of the market Smart Watch, when all the experimenting, trying to find “the very middle,” LG has demonstrated a good start. The decision to use as the operating system webOS may be the desire to reduce its dependence on the Corporation’s Good (Google), which has recently introduced new (not always favorable) rules for vendors. For example, in the line of “smart” watches Samsung already has a few devices running its own operating system – Tizen.

Now for the “smart” watches are no “right” of the operating system, as happened in the smartphone market, where the ball is ruled by Android and iOS. Therefore, Android Wear, and Tizen, webOS, and have the same chances of success. And to win the one who can attract more developers, because the software is always decides.
