What are you guys' opinions on this? A welcome change? would you get one if your phone died within the next year?

I hate it so much on my TV. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] modifier@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago (2 children) I found it to be a very elegant OS, paired with a very elegant form factor in the Palm Pre. This was over 10 years ago, before Android had cemented its place, but WebOS was a bit ahead of its time, or at least out of sync with the time it was introduced. But it was a slick, intuitive OS that influenced the UX we take for granted today. I believe it was the first to have card-based task management. That satisfying "flick" to close an app was first seen on the Palm Pre. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] inverted_deflector@startrek.website 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) If the palm pre had better build quality and wasnt tied down to sprint in the US I sometimes wonder how things would have played out. It was a better OS than android(especially since it was competing with the g1). permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] modifier@lemmy.ca 1 point 2 years ago Yeah, I remember some noise around that, which is probably why they made the Pixi with a lot fewer moving parts after that. For what it's worth, my Pre stood up great and was still in good shape when I upgraded away from it. permalink fedilink source parent
