Would you say that latest WebOS has still features which are years ahead of for both current IOS/Android. I mean are there features which aren't implemented in some form in by those two mobile OSes?
- catwell 9y agoI don't use WebOS anymore so I don't know its current state, but I doubt it because it's not the same team working on it anymore. Back in the early '10s however it had things like usable widgets on the home screen, application cards, gestures instead of buttons... which all landed in the two major OSs years later.
- als0 9y agoThere was a mechanism whereby you could transfer the current web page (or video) on your phone to your tablet, simply by placing the phone on top of the tablet. This was back in 2011. I think the Handoff feature in iOS is similar (although not proximity based). The HP WebOS devices had wireless charging. It took many years for this to properly appear again in the market.
- hajile 9y agoYes! The webOS UI from 8 years ago is still way better than the latest from Android or iOS today. The apps and implementation may not have been that great from a performance perspective (even then), but the UI was/is absolutely better. If you want a specific feature, I'd point to first-class multitasking and cards, real menus, good combination phone/tablet UI via Onyx (I'm looking at you Android), JustType, Synergy (all your services working together instead of being separate islands in your phone), gesture zone, etc.
