Google has reportedly poached HP's webOS Enyo team, according to a new report on Friday. The group is said to be leaving HP soon, leaving the PC maker's plans regarding webOS in doubt.
For those in the dark here, Enyo is webOS? HTM5 mobile application framework. The framework, which debuted on the TouchPad, was just made open source after HP killed webOS development earlier this year. The framework is extremely important to webOS and completely innovative.
At this point, it's not clear what the Enyo team will do when they get to Google, though it is highly likely they will be working on either Android or Chrome. No matter what they do, I just hope they bring some new innovation to Android. Google's OS has come a long way, but still has a long way to go, especially in regards to HTML5 web apps.
According to SlashGear, Google individually negotiated with every team member over a period of several months, and the team is expected to start in June.
