DataDrake but webOS just did it better. Ask Deiter Bohn about it 😂. (Not arguing, just making the joke since he started what's was probably the biggest webOS/Palm community going at the time and was a huge part of webOS Internals. Also has strong feelings about it still that constantly come up on The Verge cast.)

      Brucehankins Probably mostly salty that webOS is effectively dead in mobile. Not nearly as salty as I am about losing Blackberry. John Chen is probably the worst thing to ever happen to that company. First, he killed off BB10 in a misguided effort to become a secure Android company. Then he killed off BB designed hardware, by out-sourcing it to another company. This made BB a software company that barely had any software to sell.

      What they really needed was to devote a significant amount of time to getting their BB10 Android compatibility layer to work much better (and ship with Google Services and the Play Store), while also developing budget-friendly versions of their devices that were marketed at regular consumers, not business folk. Then they could have killed off their failing BB World store and started tapping new markets. Alongside all of this, they should have been pushing QNX into new markets (IoT, VoIP Phones, Cameras, etc) in order to build a more stable secondary source of income. If they were really clever, they could have become the official OS of Nvidia's Drive platform, leveraging their considerable experience in automotive infotainment systems.

        Apple divorce proceedings are ongoing.

        Currently working on what the alternative we all want and need has to be like in it’s next established iteration s.t. we’ll eventually create a mobile OS choice, that resembles an alternative of sort, even for people with no inherent drive to try something ‘other than the dire situation i.e. offering by the trap&trace duopoly, sold in the stores people have come to know’ - I believe the we are beyond their half-life, at least in the form we endured for roughly the past decade.

        It’s worth taking a look at e.foundation and mudita.com/products/pure & let’s see if KDE Plasma Mobile get’s somewhere sometime. 😊
