Wired: Palm Gives Sneak Peak Of WebOS To Be Used In Tablets
Wired columnist Charlie Sorrel likes what he saw of the new WebOS, especially the way it ‘stacks’ and organizes open apps as cards and lets users shuffle through them.
“Since his company was bought out by HP, Jon Rubinstein and what remains of the Palm team have kept busy. Due out later this year is WebOS 2.0, the OS that we expect HP to use on a tablet device, and Palm has given us a sneak-peek of what’s new.
Stack was the thing we liked best about the original WebOS. It puts each app or task onto a “card” and lets you swoosh them around the screen to either stack them out of the way or flip between tasks. New in 2.0 is auto-stacking, which will group card by type. Think iOS folders, only with running windows instead of apps.”
