Cloud services support for webOS ends in January

webOS Cloud Services to end January 15, 2015

Cloud services support for webOS devices will be ending on January 15, 2015. We appreciate our customer's 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 will stop supporting new app purchases on November 1, 2014

Updates may be 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. An FAQ can be found at http://news.hpwebosnewsletters.com/cgi-bin13/DM/t/hBlrh0dOmhe0PwQ04W5N0EQ
