Q: Why is HP shutting down webOS cloud services?
A: Shutting down webOS cloud services is part of an orderly end of life
program. HP announced the end of webOS devices (phones and tablets) over 3
years ago but the services were kept running to allow customers to continue
to have a richer user experience. The user count has dwindled to the point
where it is no longer viable to keep the services running. This does not
disable the devices currently running in the field. https://developer.palm.com
