WebOS on inc2.

Seems it can be done. I for one, am 100% for it and would love to see it done. Please respond if you would too. Let's get the attention of one of our great devs to get it done.

I'd definitely be interested in webOS, I actually REALLY like that OS

Considering that the last OTA version of webOS for phones came out in December 2011 and that the App Catalog currently has less than 10,00 apps (and dropping), I think I'll stick with Android. It would be interesting to see it running on an Inc2, but it seems like it would merely be a novelty.

Now that it is open sourced, it should be like compiling a rom. I can't fully say, I'm no dev.

Buy a palm pre. I don't think any dev would even take this on. Maybe you can find a similar launcher of sorts.
I was actually thinking of getting a used pre myself just to play with.

webos is neat, but the device is so crappy/small/cheap its not worth spending 5 minutes with
there is a lot of open webos development on the touchpad, and its a much better implemenation of it....if you can pick one up cheap, thats a better route to go

[Q] WebOS

As I was using my phone, I had a flashback to my Palm Pre. I still love WebOS and I cant shake this longing feeling to have it back. And please dont go suggesting that I should just use that then, I just bought the SIII and love it to death I just would love to see a WebOS port on here, what are your guys opinions? And is it plausible? Considering it is another Linux variant.

You so crazy!

And apple thought samsung stole their UI? cant wait for this. Surprised RIM could scrounge up enough money to develop anything at this point. Almost seems like they are reinventing what all phones already do. I dunno, just my 2cents. Yes BB were the leaders of smartphones, but that was at a time when their competition was palm and their $600-800 mini tablet/phones.

What's with all the rampant fanboyism? You guys sound like iOS fans who were oblivious to Android before. Guess what happened to them?
RIM was really slow to adapt with their old keyboard phones, yes, but this new video is showing that they ARE starting to adapt and actually rethinking the interface flow. iOS homescreen was all icons and they sat on that without innovation for years. Android gave us widgets, pulldown notifications, and a recents menu, but you still have to press a button to see it. BB10 is saying **** it, make the thumbnails on the homescreen itself, and have the messaging hub always swipable. They are good ideas, even if they aren't going to dominate the market anytime soon.

I also think it looks pretty nice and simple. I wouldn't mind to have it as my second device. Fingers crossed! I'm getting little tired of android. Some refreshing variation would be nice.

Yea seems interesting.. Does definitely seem like a mix between mostly iOS and some android in their.. Looks user friendly looks smooth but to me its a little bit of ugly. Device itself is ugly, and also os already seems outdated their nothing really exciting or revolutionary so yea. Good luck with that.

Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium

I'm definitely interested in taking Ubuntu for a test drive, but I do have a few concerns:
1 - There is no lock screen, but the phone is still somehow secure. I don't feel great about that. Having a lock screen in place gives me the added peace of mind that if my phone is lost or stolen, I know that my data will be initially secure, and will probably remain secure until I remotely wipe the device.
2 - I'm not sure how I feel about a completely gesture-driven device. I had the original Palm Pre at the time, and I didn't find myself using the gestures unless I absolutely needed to (i.e. closing out cards, going back in the browser, etc.). Thankfully, the phone was a hybrid of gestures and physical hardware buttons. There won't be any hardware buttons on any Ubuntu phone.
3 - The device unity selling point doesn't sell me. I'd never use my phone as my home computer. My desktop and laptop are far more robust in terms of capability than any phone, and I'd rather just use those.
4 - I'm having a hard time believing that desktop-grade applications will run smoothly on a phone. Sure, developers will be encouraged to bundle a mobile interface, but I'm not sold on the notion that someday in the near future I'll be playing Portal 2 on my phone.
5 - The home screen looks crazy. I'm not a huge fan of the hodgepodge that will be files, media, and apps strewn about the home screen. In hindsight, I like the process existing mobile OS's take to reduce clutter. Open the app, then open media recognized by the app. That process keeps things clean.
Ubuntu isn't exactly easy on the eyes, either. That magenta-y, orange-ish theme is hideous. Even the font that they use sucks. Undoubtedly, however, that can be fixed through themeing the rom. However, I love stock rom experiences, so I know that a theme would irk me. Just my OCD, I guess.
It's core strength is multi-tasking, of which I'm very interested in. It seems to be very intuitive. I'd love to play around with that.
Web-based apps on the phone are definitely intriguing.
I didn't really care for the dig that they made on Android regarding Java. Java was put in place for rapid application development. On lower-end phones, I can see a Java environment being overhead on the operating system, but with my Optimus G, it hardly even knows its there. The OG is a beast.
I'm definitely going to be paying attention to the developments made with Ubuntu Mobile. I'll be dusting off my GNex when the image does get released.

Blackberry seems to be shooting to be just good enough with this phone. Dual core processor, 1 gb RAM and a smaller screen by today's standards seem like this is the device they are testing the waters with when really they should go for broke. Realistically this could be their last hurrah.
Personally I want to see them succeed. I dont think i will ever buy another blackberry, but a third strong OS would keep all systems innovating at a very high rate instead of encouraging stagnation.

Hd2 was able to run ICS before most android devices at the time. The webos tablet and blackberry was also able to run android. Doesn't surprise me the bb10 will too. A smartphone these days no matter the stock OS can in some way run android. Even the iPhone could run android and has in the past

Look, you might think the hardware isn't all there. That isn't the big picture. Watch your mind explode. No iPhone, no Android as we know it, No widgets, no Windows 8, and to come full circle, no blackberry, no iPhone.
Android will die one day. Blackberry might die too. Analyst are already predicting the iPhone's doom. But, BB only gives us more. The ideas that blackberry comes up with will enhance the android phones. Competition brings innovation. I hope blackberry does great and brings timely updates too. Imagine if all the other os's updated like Apple. Don't think for a second blackberry didn't take note to our fragmentation. They have the same 2 phones worldwide for a reason.
And don't think for a second our brand loyalty its less fickle than it is. We will jump ship in drones. Blackberry might not be leading the pack now. But, now is very relative.
So, i agree with everyone.

The only level of encryption approved by pretty much every government worldwide for their secure communications. Blackberry will still have it's place in corporate and gov't settings for a while yet, but I don't see the mass appeal that they want and need to regain their once dominant position. They would have to do something more eye-popping than what they did.
On a somewhat different note, what are thoughts that some others have about upcoming platforms? Firefox OS, Tizen, Ubuntu, etc... I read that Samsung will be releasing Tizen phones in Q3.

I believe android will remain dominant for many years to come I see bb10 as more of a threat to wp8. BlackBerry has made it easy to port over android apps meaning they could easily out shine wp quickly when it comes to apps. I also believe people will defect from android also but not in droves android will remain dominant if only for the choices you can get their is a device out their that fits everyone's needs

Here is a question? Will we need to buy the app again? I assume so. Honestly, both phones are appealing.
There was a good article today about the demise of phones. It could be a great thing. If the losers leave and the leaders cut back we might see more stellar phones from less manufacturers. Lg won't make 30 different phones a year. So, the 5 they end up making might get faster updates.
