Open WebOS 1.0 arrives for those who dare to port

bobafetthotmail · 03 Oct 2012

so, it's like Chromium (the open cousin of Google's Chromebook OS) but on a ARM processor?

Hmmmmmmmmmmm.... doesn't sound so bad on paper.

I grabbed an HP TouchPad when they were going for €99. Used it for a couple of days, but now I only use it as a quick reference when playing Skyrim.

WebOS is really slow and clunky, even with the TouchPad overclocked to 1.5GHz.

Used my TouchPad (OCed to 1.5GHz) for over a year and really liked WebOS. Now have an Android 4.0.3 tablet - prefered the WebOS system...wish it would load on my Android...

I will admit that, perhaps, I am not using it to its full potential...

Anyone know if you can install it on an iPad 3?

You cannot install anything other than iOS on the iPad. Apple locks it down really well. No Android or WebOS. I would recommend you wait for a while and when some Android tablets start getting good ports, you could buy one of those tablets.
I hope my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 gets a port for WebOS.

Too late - got an ipad incoming...

On the plus side by the time that's due for an upgrade, the Android/8 based tablets should be more settled.
