With the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2014, one of the biggest electronics conventions of the year, only a few days away, leaks and rumors are flying as to what will be revealed at the conference.

For LG, it looks as if TVs will be the focus. But television is hardly the only function of its purported newest device. shows off what could be the interface of the new LG WebOS TV that would pack apps such as Skype, YouTube, and Facebook onto a smart TV.

WebOS is a Linux operating system, originally trotted out by Palm for smart phones and then sold to HP. However, HP decided to abandon the project and LG acquired WebOS last year not with the intention of creating smart phones, but creating smart TVs that could work with multi-platform media.

"It creates a new path for LG to offer an intuitive user experience and Internet services across a range of consumer electronics devices," said Skott Ahn, president and chief technology officer of LG Electronics听.

So far, if this screenshot ends up being correct, the interface on the LG WebOS TV looks similar to what WebOS鈥檚 displays have looked like in the past. It has a multitasking vibe, inspired by Cards 鈥� the interface used for WebOS smart phones. The bottom half of the screen displays different social, Internet, and TV apps, such as Facebook, that a user can easily flip between. It also looks like the device will include LG鈥檚 Smart Share, a service where viewers can share media (such as photos, videos, and music) between devices.

This isn鈥檛 the first time that we鈥檙e hearing of the LG WebOS TV. said the LG WebOS TV would be debuted at CES, but few details have been released since then. We do know that the TV will be powered by a 2.2GHz dual-core processor and include 1.5GB of RAM, which will be ideal for multipurpose and media use.
