The Verge
breaks news that some of the most prominent members of HP's Enyo team are heading to Google. Details about the project they'll be joining at Google are unknown, but perhaps it's Android or Chrome.
The HP team responsible for Enyo — webOS's HTML5-based application framework that debuted on the TouchPad — will be leaving the company and starting at Google shortly, The Verge has learned. What this means for the future of Open webOS is unclear; Enyo and the developers supporting it are central to HP's open source strategy for the operating system going forward, and it's hard to say whether this move will have any effect on the planned late 2012 release for version 1.0.
