LG earlier this year started licensing their proprietary TV platform WebOS to different brands. And now, they have announced a welcome feature for WebOS, which is Amazon Alexa. Different brands that use WebOS to power their TVs will soon have intelligent voice recognition powered by Amazon Alexa. “The addition of Amazon Alexa to the long list of webOS features will enhance the user experience and boost the value of our growing smart TV ecosystem,” said Jung Sung-hyun, head of content services at LG Home Entertainment Company. “Bringing together the capabilities of Alexa with the convenience of webOS to third-party TVs is a win-win-win for TV brands, customers, and developers.” This near feature will be released in North America in the third quarter followed by other regions. The last time we heard about webOS, it was on the HP TouchPad. First time LG stated they are considered webOS on their TVs was back in February 2013. It was only until January this year when we finally saw an LG TV running webOS and this was during CES 2014 in Las Vegas.
