   Doing some software archaeology with @jimmac today, looking at webOS on the Touchpad and Palm Pre.

   It's very cool to see how far ahead of its time this was, and also how many elements from it survived in GNOME in some form! And of course, the multitasking is still unmatched by any more recent mobile platform :)

     @tbernard @jimmac There were already small-T touchpads when they named the TouchPad(tm). Pretty bad naming. 🤨

     Not saying that's why WebOS didn't catch on, just something that raised an eyebrow. Maybe a hint that they weren't quite in touch (pun intended) with the audience.
