"Palm’s unparalleled webOS platform" Question: is Palm's web os platform really unparalleled? Or is it quickly falling behind the race that is now dominated by iPhone and android?
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I view 'Sent from my BlackBerry / iPhone' as a way of explaining why the email is so short.
Did BlackBerry start putting those messages in first, before Apple did the iPhone?
iPhone came out in June 2007 so .. looks like BB's did it first.

It's funny, even though Apple has resisted messing up the hardware, there is still that "Sent from my iPhone" message which always struck me as having no taste at all. It is different because you can remove it, but still.
True! I hate that bleepin' message. (I didn't know you could delete it.)
Wow, that just came out of no where. Did anyone really think of HP as a serious contender? great move! Elevation Partners must be trilled!

afaik webos has the best multi-tasking system out there and the easiest entry point (since it's just js, css & html)
Android's life-cycle and Bundles makes a developer think about saving app state information from day one. Something as simple as a configuration change, rotating orientation, recreates your Activity.
Since creating and destroying your activity is such a common occurrence you are forced to save the state info.
When the OS needs to kill a background activity to free up space it tends to work.
Really good YouTube video explaining this:
