WebOS, the palm smartphone OS. It was beautiful at the time and predicted many of the swipe gestures iOS and Android adopted much later.


WebOS premiered with true multitasking using the card metaphor for apps.

It took years for Android to adopt it, and then iOS, and even today, it's a copy of what WebOS did, but somehow worse.


Now in LG TVs


What LG did to WebOS is a crime. It's basically a locked down Android TV clone now, but worse.

I still pine for features that Palm/HP WebOS had, Android and iOS are still downgrades to this day
