i imagine the plan is to retire iphone se when the bezel-less curved glass iphone 8 comes out, since that would let them put a ~4.7" screen in something as comfortable to hold as the SE

webos had the best app multitasking manager and both apple and google are faint imitations with their simple card tasks. the stack concept was really good and im sad nobody bought that ip. the one really solid feature and it has no value on the tv version lg has

palm had already hosed up bad before the webos attempt, one can look at an old palm pilot now and still recognize that they were on exactly the right track for the devices we have now at a time where everyone else would still put out pc-imitating handhelds for another solid decade. all they needed to do was get a proper 3.1 -> 95 transition going for palmos and then iterate sanely, but they never managed

yeah, they sat on their haunches and tacked features onto palmos 5 for years, all while tying arbitrary limits to upgrades to hardware. sometimes the only difference was wallpapers, but the modding and hacking community added those years ago. they had 6 in the wings forever, even a compatibility layer, but never made the effort

at one point the company that bought their os released an emulator for the nokia tablets that ran maemo, which was pretty good, but they never did anything with that either. there was so much potential if they didnt just make treos all day. they even had a passing dock concept but rightly shelved it since it nearly became a full computer by the time they were finished minus the massive library of palmos software
