alt Hacker NewsWasn't webOS effectively an OS built on web standards and effectively just a browser engine?
The Pre had 256MB and something like a 600mHZ processor. While it was no speed demon, I was always impressed with the animations and multitasking they pulled off with it.
People forget we used the web on 100mHz 486s with maybe 16MB of RAM and sites like Slashdot were plenty usable.
