I still enjoy using WebOS more than iOS. The card system is a joy to use. Palm created a great OS but handled hardware and marketing with almost criminal negligence. Hp did the same.<p>If I could get the top five apps in every category and decent hardware I would switch back to WebOS.
As someone who just compiled his own Android build and deployed on his tablet, there's something refreshing and enlightening about working with unlocked hardware and open-source software which you never get to experience on the iStack.<p>I'm not going to try open webOS but I can see why these people are doing what they do :)
Nice technological demo, but honestly I think that webOS is dead. Unless some major phone/tablet maker was to adopt it and put the marketing $$ behind to adopt it I don't see it going anywhere except as a technological demo.
There was some good idea in webOS but Palm was never able to build any strong traction around it, and HP... We know what happen there.
