That tablet, and WebOS that it ran, were revolutionary. So many features we all take for granted now, scrollable cards, swiping up to clear, hardware based notifications (the screen and the device showing you have unreads) were all started with WebOS.

I can't believe how Palm and then HP failed so horribly with it but maybe there's just something to things being "before their time."

Still to this day, WebOS is the best mobile OS I've ever used.

I do not remember this at all. Would love to see the original thread. So hard to find old threads now, even when using google.

I had one, installed android OS on it and it was great. I still have it in my closet actually.

Upvoted. It's a shame that it went away.
