The design of Web OS was indeed ahead of it's time, it's a shame about the execution though.

Was hoping that open webOS would have taken off. It's probably my favorite mobile OS to date...it just felt right

yeah both pretty much lifted the cards and flicking aspects from the multitasking of WebOS shamelessly. Web OS was one of the first mobile OS that had real multitasking. Honestly I miss it but the app selection was trash.

• May 2010 — present, Google, as Director, Android User Experience - reporting to Sundar Pichai.

Duarte "is currently driving the interface and design for Android 3.0 (AKA Honeycomb), and it's clear that he's bringing his big, bold ideas to the Android platform."[2] As the lead designer for Android's push into Touchscreen tablet computing, Duarte has stated three goals: larger devices, evolving Android, and a better user interface.[8]

• September 2007 — May 2010, Palm, Inc., as VP, Human Interface and User Experience.

Duarte was hired as the Vice President at Palm, Inc. in September, 2007 to lead development of Palm’s webOS Human Interface and User Experience and introduced the design of webOS at the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show.[9] Duarte described the Palm Pre as "a stone at the bottom of a riverbed, rubbed smooth over thousands of years."[10][11] Duarte is named as an inventor in 18 of Palm's pending US Patent applications. Duarte left Palm less than a month after it was acquired by HP.

Don't mourn brehs mastermind of WebOS is alive and well at Android We're better off this way, having Matias Duarte cook at Google than dying away at HP.

Problem is the hardware left much to be desired. I had a $99 touch pad and it was ok..but
Touch Pad = fat chick with pretty face
