But it just isn't cool to say the tablet makers are copying webOS or have their own guts (Android notification system, while nothing like webOS is still distinct and lot better designed for example) - people just love being told that everything interesting in the universe is copied from Apple :)
- sjs 16y agoWhether you like Apple or not they are the only ones shipping a decent tablet right now. I'm more excited about HP's webOS stuff than iPhone 5 or iPad 2.
- blinkingled 16y agoTrue, but for me, the decent tablet Apple ships isn't nearly enough. I need Flash, decent multitasking, USB port, normal file system access and more so a standalone device not tied to my computer in any way shape or form. To that end Xoom is looking great and may be webOS will beat it in most key departments, but I can buy Xoom like next week.
- sjs 16y agowebOS looks great. Summer will be here before you know it.
- sambeau 16y agoInteresting, of course, that the multitasking UI was copied from the original iPhone Mobile Safari UI. :)
- blinkingled 16y agoBut of course original iPhone Mobile Safari never went anywhere near the word multitasking but that aside - correct me if I am mistaken but original iPhone Mobile Safari did not use a card system - i.e. you could not swipe up the Safari windows to dismiss them or anything which is the most innovative feature of the webOS multitasking. Just showing mini windows side by side that can be closed using a X button - that was done long time before iPhone.
