I too am a big fan of WebOS. It is the MOST intuitive smartphone OS available. I think the web browsing is better than iPhone. Nobody does notifications as well as WebOS. However, after having my Palm Pre for a year (I waited in line to get mine from the Sprint store the first day), I've moved on to an Android powered Evo 4G. Why? Because the PalmPre hardware is not good enough for the OS. My original Palm Pre has 256mb of Ram, which was not enough for certain advertisement heavy websites, like www.cyclingnews.com. Also, just a few months after getting the PalmPre, it began to shutdown randomly. It turns out that this is a common problem. The slider mechanism in the original PalmPre was the issue. Both of these issues were rectified with the Palm Pre Plus, but I'm a Sprint guy and Sprint doesn't carry the Plus. As for the Evo 4G, it is a nice phone; very fast. However, Android, as good as it is, is not anywhere near as good as WebOS. I dearly hope that HP pushes forward with WebOS as a mobile platform and that they deliver great hardware; the kind of hardware WebOS deserves.
