As previously announced, cloud services support for webOS devices will be ending on January 15, 2015. We appreciate our customers loyalty the webOS platform. But now, more than three (3) years after the last device was sold, only a small fraction of the devices are still connecting. Therefore, the time has come to shut down the services. All devices running webOS devices will continue to run after the cloud services are terminated. However, they will no longer be able to: Download new apps or updates. The HP App Catalog will be unavailable after the shutdown Backup or restore devices from the cloud Setup new devices Recover lost passwords What this means to you: The HP App Catalog no longer supports new app purchases as of November 1, 2014. Updates may have been posted by developers until November 10, 2014 and users can download any available updates until the services shut down You should make arrangements to backup or transfer your contacts, etc.prior to the service shutdown on January 15, 2015 You will no longer be able to backup, restore, reset or initialize a webOS device as of January 15, 2015. There will be additional reminders as the final shutdown approaches.

but what will you do when you realize the pixie is the phone you wanted all along, you take it out of the junk drawer, turn it on, hit the first run screen and it won't activate. it's dead, killed by hp's greed and short sightedness

how am i going to keep my touchpad in a state of perfect stasis lest anything happen to it that might require a reset? it's an existential crisis. if i use it it may die forever but the only alternative is to never touch it again

honestly though this doesn't even affect people who use Palm devices that much. no one uses the App Store, everyone uses preware, and all the devices are activated already. the cloud backup will be missed but not a big deal.

rotor posted:well no cloud backup does kinda suck i have never knowingly used this service. i'm not sure what i'd need to back up, the thing is basically just an erader at this point since the browser shits itself inside out at the first hint of any modern javascript in fact the only reason i'm aware that i have a webos account it hp keeps telling me that i will soon no longer have a webos account.

if you get another palm device you could log in with your account and it would get all your settings and install all your apps and stuff, which was nice for me but I understand how it might not be so useful for others

it's pretty hosed up how every electronics device sold today depends on a constant connection to a service that will be shut down the instant it becomes unprofitable

As a Millennial I posted:it's pretty hosed up how every electronics device sold today depends on a constant connection to a service that will be shut down the instant it becomes unprofitable but webos doesn't depend on the cloud services?? there's nothing it can't do without them other than constant cloud backups.
