Have you seen WebOS? I find it rather interesting and thinks its better for a tablet than iOS is.

- CamperBob 15y agoMostly what I'm seeing (watching the video) are what look like garbage-collection hitches, and instances where the demonstrator has to repeatedly hit the same spot on the screen to make something happen. It doesn't look anywhere near as smooth as a first-gen iPad. This stuff matters, as it turns out. As for the rest of the demo, well -- shrug -- it looks like iOS. I tend to agree with the downvoted grandparent: bring something new to the table, or don't waste my time. My guess is that few people other than patent attorneys will end up making any money from this product.
- smackfu 15y agoThe task switching is nothing like and far better than iOS. Unless you like that hacky double-tap home thing.
- CamperBob 15y agoWell, no, the task-switching UI is better than iOS, I do agree with that. It's perplexing that someone at Apple of all places thought the double-tap home thing was a good idea. In any case, if someone at Apple were to load up on Red Bull and pizza and camp out in their office for a weekend, iOS's task-switcher could look and work exactly the same. They apparently believe they're doing it the right way now, though, for whatever reason.
