videos are a bit hopeless on quite a few versions of android, so i stick with WebOS for watching movies and stuff via VPN, internet is a grey area, sometimes i prefer when webOS just works as opposed to android browser throwing a fit.

apps.....yh android is 100 times better now that we have ICS
[TouchPad General] jsgraphicart:
I love the webOS UI. I have an android phone and used to have a webOS phone so I am familiar with both. I agree android has more apps which makes it more usable with most people. But webOS does a better job with how things look and feel in my opinion. I will be installing cm9 on it tonight but will still use both operating systems for different things. I'm hoping with webOS going open source we will see both these operating systems grow with eachother.
[TouchPad General] quarlow:
I used webOS exclusively until ICS. At least webOS was tablet optimized. CM7 was unbearable to me. webOS is intuitive, stable, snappy, and smooth. The default browser in webOS renders well and handles flash great. Advanced browser added some nice features.

You will find a lot more talk of people using the TouchPad on webOS at webOS nation, formerly precentral. They also have a lot more guides about webOS optimization, like over clocking, preware, and more. XDA is dominated by android, so it makes sense most of the users here run ICS. I have a brother in law that bought a TouchPad at full price before the fire sale. He loves it and webOS, he didn't know you could put Android on it.

To me it comes down to use. I use my tablet for almost 90% web browsing. On GB web browsing was terrible. But ICS brings solid web browsing that I feel is faster than the webOS browser. Then while I'm in there I get to plug into my Google stuff easier.

Thanks for your opinion. I am a member of webOS Nation too. I'm just over here more since I have a Droid X2. I think a lot of users have left the forums over there too, sadly. I guess I'll be jumping back and forth. :)
[TouchPad General] Camille68:
I purchased my Touchpad during the initial fire sale, with the goal of installing Android on it. I found that I actually like WebOS, so I never installed Android and don't plan on it at this point. I don't care that there are not as many apps on WebOS as there are on Android. I have an Android phone and Galaxy Tab, and don't have very many apps installed on either one of those either. I like how smooth and intuitive that WebOS is, and I love it's interface. So, WebOS is a keeper for me.

If I ever feel like I absolutely have to have an ICS device, then I'll just go out and purchase one with the OS already installed on it (provided that it's a decent price).
[TouchPad General] orangekid:
HW acceleration works now on CM9 so videos should not be choppy (none of mine are, netflix works 100% great and so does YouTube HD)

that's the thing, only one of those operating systems is going to "grow"

I get that WebOS is open source now, but the difference is that Google is still making new versions of Android, but NO ONE is making new versions of WebOS, so it is just a losing proposition.
[TouchPad General] jsgraphicart:
webOS isnt even fully open source yet. No one can really do anything with what HP has given them so far. But once developers get a hold of a fully open source product, only time will tell if we will see another "version of webOS" or big improvements on what is already there. Im just being optimistic about the whole open source thing and hoping to see SOME good come out of it. I will have Android on my device as well for future development on the Android side of things.
[TouchPad General] Rolfsted:
I too have been an Android convert since my wife got the G1 from T mobile several years ago. Then I went to the Droid X. Then a galaxy tab 7 and now a Razr.

I wanted a larger tablet and saw the price of iPad and others and thought I would just keep what I had. When I read that the touchpad could run android and they were just $200 a few months ago, I bought 3. Then sold one, gave one as a gift and kept one.

I really like webOS. I use it for just surfing, email and the front facing camera works with Skype. Ics still has no ffc. So with webOS it doesn't matter.

I think the touchpad is one of the best tablets out there. You have the great feel of webOS on one side and the flasoholics dream on the other.
[TouchPad General] dung8604:
So I bought my tp about a week ago, and played with webOS for about two hours before/while installing android on it. I laugh at anyone who wants to "remove" webOS from this tablet. It is a fantastic operating system. But you have to admit, android's app selection is a huge, huge pro to installing ics. Whether you care or not is irrelevant. Both OS's are solid and stable, both have their pros and cons. I can see myself using webOS 100% of the time if their app selection half way caught up with android. As it is, webOS is a very nice alternative if your android is bugging out for whatever reason, and android is a nice alternative if you want more apps than webOS offers.

Hopefully, the open sourcing of webOS will give a huge boost to the dev community, for both OS's. Imagine having webOS with a ton of mods and customizations and apps, while having android with flawless wifi and camera. I would love to see that happen. Then we would literally have the best tablet available!
[TouchPad General] alzest:
The reason why you see everyone here talking about android and cyanogenmod is because you are in an predominantly android forum. Its like asking where the apple users have gone in a Linux forum...you can try webosnation forums for webos related stuff and chat

Hate my sig.
[TouchPad General] tjsooley:
I use only webos on my touchpad and see no reason to use cm9.
[TouchPad General] MrWilliams2:
Unless disk space is an issue, I see no reason not to run both.
[TouchPad General] shyboi:
Agreed, unfortunately there are not a lot of apps out for webOS. If the OpenMobile ACL project takes off soon then this may be a thing of the past, until then I'm happily running ICS on my touchpad.
[TouchPad General] jsgraphicart:
I agree. I bought the 32 gig because I knew I was going to install android on it. 32 gigs is a lot of space so like you said, I see no reason not to if you have the extra space. If it wasnt for the apps on android though, I wouldn't bother.
[TouchPad General] muyoso:
How anyone can stand the WebOS browser is beyond me. Absolute garbage. I couldn't flash Android fast enough.
[TouchPad General] ncinerate:
I used webOS for as long as it was reasonable to do so - but CM9 is clearly a better choice for almost anyone. I tweaked and fiddled and played with webOS to get the most seamless experience possible, spending a TON of time on it, and in the end it's just a ton of effort expended to bring the device up to "adequate". Most of the fixes and tweaks etc that I recommended should have been baked into the code for webOS -years- ago. It's really a shame how hard they dropped the ball - and this is coming from someone who's been a webOS convert since I bought my very first pre- on launch day and has put up with all the negatives. SOOOOOO much promise, massive failure to deliver. I can't help but feel like even the open-source effort is a bit slow and stalling, and the timeline on this is doing nothing but sending experienced devs who -were- webOS faithful on to other devices.

As it sits, the touchpad running CM9 is one of the most capable ICS-equipped tablets on the market. It's a beast in terms of CPU, graphics, screen, etc. The newest nightlies run beautifully. I can't see any reason why a TP owner wouldn't want CM9 installed on their touchpad. Even if you still use webOS (I do from time to time), having CM9 on there is a no-brainer. 20 seconds and you've rebooted into CM9 ready to use it's vast array of apps, enjoy a much more capable web browsing experience, and generally massively improve the usefulness of your tablet. There's no downside.

That's why the webOS users are a bit sparse, and that's a trend I only see continuing.
[TouchPad General] byanto88:
Just landed into this forum after get the link from Google, shows that Touchpad was heavily installed with Android in it (mostly CM9?).

Currently I'm using only WebOS on my Touchpad, not yet try to install CM9 on it. Only have 16GB version. Previous day have a plan to get 32GB version, so I can install CM9 on it, but now changes a plan a little bit for it.

Meanwhile, I try to keep watching the progress on this forum, about Android usage on Touchpad. If someday I will install CM9 on it, it should be dual-boot. Hopefully after WebOS become open source fully, like Android, many apps appears for it.
[TouchPad General] quarlow:
I never run into space issues running webOS and CM9 on a 16 GB. I see it as a cloud based device. Without an internet connection I wouldn't use it. I stream everything, so I don't store any content on it. Loaded with apps, I still have more than half the system partition free, and like 2/3 the storage space free.

[TouchPad General] Divine_Madcat:
Having used Cm9 and webOS, it blows my mind to see people still prefer the latter. There is nothing webOS does better, and a ton of things it does worse (browsing.... uggggg). If you plan on sticking with the tp, you may as well adopt the better os, and get good community support ..
[TouchPad General] eyeb:
I dont know... I used to prefer android... I like the apps :S lol

but as I've been using webos lately, I find that I kind of prefer it more now... except for said lack of apps :S

now I just have to wait for someone to figure out how to port android market onto webos and I'll be happy as a clam :) not that I'm unhappy now with both but that would be my dream tablet lol, or wait till someone points me in direction so I can learn how to do it, then hold my hand while I do it lol
[TouchPad General] jsgraphicart:
I prefer the webOS UI over androids too. The lack of apps is the only thing holding it back in my opinion. A port of the android market wont get you the apps though. Apps are made specifically for an OS.
[TouchPad General] Joeb2751:
Nothing?? How about battery life? At least on my TP, WebOS gives me far better battery life than CM9. If only cm could match webOS in that area, I'd be happy.
[TouchPad General] Divine_Madcat:
Frankly, for what i do, i have not seen a huge difference. If there is one, for me it doesn't matter, given how much webOS sucks. Im sorry, but it sucks.

Compared to CM9, the multitasking is annoying (yay.. who doesn't love cycling though windows, and then having to find the right card in the stack..). One touch of a button, and all my active apps are right there; i can close em with a swipe, and jump to the one i want. I don't have to minimize the current app to use it either, which is so nice.

The only browser on WebOS is PAINFUL. It doesn't load pages right, and that god awful rubberband effect if you move to the border of a page. Every window gets a new stupid card, rather than a tab like every other good browser. "Advanced Browser" is anything but; not to mention getting to pay for the stock browser slightly tweaked.. yeah..

So, worse multitasking, worse browser, and no apps..... so why would i use it?
[TouchPad General] zanderman112:
I use both CM9(w/ Cornerstone build 1.4) and webOS. CM9 is the "daily" but about once a week I load up webOS, update the apps, and use it as normal. I've found substitutes for many android apps on it. Communities in place of Tapatalk, an RSS reader with a nice ui in place of Pulse Reader, Project Macaw and Spaz HD in place of Twitter. I can easily use webOS for a few days.

~E.R.A.
[TouchPad General] jsgraphicart:
If you like cornerstone, have you tried glimpse for webOS?

And yes, almost anything on android has a substitute for it on webOS. Its just not a big name developer.
[TouchPad General] zanderman112:
Funtion over fame baby :) lol

And no, I hadn't heard of it, but I'll look it up now.

~ E.R.A.
[TouchPad General] jsgraphicart:
Here is a good video of it. Its pretty much cornerstone for webOS:

[TouchPad General] jsntrenkler:
I run both operating systems. I love webos, the apps they do have look very nice and function well. There is a bunch more lag on webos however cm9 is super speedy and works well. I just installed the nightly and the have made a lot of fixes since my initial flash.
[TouchPad General] Bagbug:
webOS is an half baked product. The browser and the PDF reader are a joke. The UI feels like Windows 3.1, no customization what so ever.

And the worst of all, NO APPS !

I installed CM9 on my 3 TP a month ago and since then, no one here wants to use webOS anymore.
[TouchPad General] zanderman112:
Flat faced lie.

~ E.R.A.
[TouchPad General] jsgraphicart:
I WANT to use webOS but the lack of development sucks. The OS itself works great and is, in my opinion, still the best. I dont know why people say the browser sucks. I can search things just fine. But again, if there was more development, there would be more browsers to choose from. Overall, the ONLY thing that sucks with webOS is development.
[TouchPad General] scariola:
What's webos? Lol

Android FTW

My 2 cents

Google + pertinent info = results
[TouchPad General] lhkjohn:
This.
[TouchPad General] byanto88:
Agree with yours. WebOS need more developers to work on it. You know from Application Developers point of view, the famous OS become, more developers will develop the application for it. It happens now for Android and iPad/iPhone apps. Everywhere, we'll see apps for Android and iPad/iPhone, but not many for WebOS.

Hopefully after WebOS fully open source, and many phone manufacture adopted the WebOS on their mobile device, we'll see the WebOS apps started to be popular.

Time will tell this story, so just be patient to wait and see a good progress for it. :)
[TouchPad General] quarlow:
I agree webOS is a great OS, the thing that's lacking is apps. I thought the browser was good. It was hands down better than anything you could do in CM7. With ICS we have some better choices, but the webOS browser at least renders correct, and supports flash.

I don't think webOS will see a revival. Its the chicken vs egg problem. No one wants to develop apps if there are no users, and no one wants to use it if there are no apps. Microsoft has the same problem with WP7. But, Microsoft has a history of good dev support, and lots on money to throw at it. I think if Nokia bought palm instead of HP, webOS might have survived, in hindsight that looks like a perfect match. Nokia needed fresh software, Palm needed someone used to large scale production, with money and resources.

Meanwhile RIM thinks BB10 will save them. Maybe when RIM wakes up they could pick up webOS for their devices, but I think android is likelier. I think RIM is destined to license their OS to others and die, or fork their own build of android and die slower.

The mobile OS scene is crowded. And I think webOS's opportunity has come and gone. Getting back in now, with zero development (from HP), will be insurmountable.

[TouchPad General] derausgewanderte:
The only apps I am missing in webos are handrite (handwriting note taking app) and a PDF annotation app. There are a few doodle like apps but nothing comes close to handrite in android.
[TouchPad General] ricklynchcore:
I purchased my TP to use with webos, however, I gave CM9 a try, and I must say I've never looked back. Incredibly more productive, full range of Apps with immediate support. K-9 email client. What more could I ask for. Sorry, but if I were developer, why would I develop for webos, when, I imagine, so many of us are using Android. All I know is my Touchpad is getting a lot more use with Android.
[TouchPad General] tensuke:
Except WebOS has actual multitasking versus Android's "implementation." The recent apps list is just that; they are not currently open apps, you aren't closing them by swiping away. You are removing them from the list. The more apps you switch to the more you gamble the fate of the one you had open. Eventually, after one app, or two, or maybe three, Android will decide it needs more memory and close the app you had open before. The next time you open it, it will either restart or, if the developer had the foresight, reload the state before you switched out of it. WebOS, by comparison, will not kill an app no matter how many you open up. Saying that WebOS has 'worse multitasking' than Android is ignoring the fact that Android doesn't have real multitasking to begin with.

/apologies if this sounds too critical, going from an n900 to android leaves a bit of a bad taste in my mouth regarding multitasking :)
[TouchPad General] savage24x:
I prefer WebOS with the nice design and flowing interface. Swipe up on a card to kill an app is the best mulitasking I've ever seen. You can see your processes and kill them/rearrange them as you wish. I have not seen multitasking simpler than that. Plus it is very easy to overclock and get tweaks. The only downside is apps, but I mostly use it for a mobile office.
[TouchPad General] jsgraphicart:
I dont know why people dont develop for webOS. Apparently its the easiest OS to develop for since its all based on the same stuff used to build web sites (hence, the name webOS). I understand "why develop for an OS that no one uses, blah blah blah." But at the same time, no one will use it if no one develops for it. Just think how many TouchPads are out there now. Wether people are running android on it or not, a lot of people have a webOS device now. Get the apps on there, spred the word and people will try it out more and discover how great the OS is. Hopefully when webOS becomes fully open source, someone will take it upon themselves to start porting apps over. Its just a wait and see game right now.

While we are on the subject of webOS development, there is a new app called Apollo in the app catalog that is basically Pandora for webOS. It is SO much better than the Android Pandora. Check it out if you havent already.
[TouchPad General] eyeb:
I'm waiting for someone to figure out how to get webos to install android apk files, like how blackberry playbook can :S lol

I'd be tempted to trade the touchpad for a playbook but i dont like it's screen size
[TouchPad General] Moshe5368:
webOS

I use webOS as a daily driver. I have been a webOS fan since the palm days and continue to use it today. True multi tasking and the ability to view flash media sites without issues as well as solid WiFi connectivity anywhere, anytime is a big plus for me. Lest someone tell me to try android, I have been using android builds since donut and have Classicnerd ICS installed on my touchpad but I still use webOS as my primary operating system. There are things that android can do better than webOS but the reverse is also true. I don't really have to have cutting edge software on my tablet. I need a tablet that just works. Those that are familiar with webOS know that there are webOS apps to handle most any task we might have.

Most people bought the touchpad during the firesale in order to put android on it. I purchased the touchpad to run webOS and have not found a reason to change my mind. I'm a small business owner and was able to run my business for over a year using the touchpad and webOS with very few issues, most of them with not having the ability to receive faxes. I ran my accounting software, databases, and invoices with the touchpad and a wireless printer. ICS is nice and android offers many more apps than webOS but most people only have about 35 core apps that they use on a regular basis. Webos meets my needs for a tablet, at present. If I find the need for an android tablet, I will probably pick up a transformer prime. Until then, webOS just works, and works well.
[TouchPad General] Divine_Madcat:
I am guessing you haven't see CM9 then? With one touch of a button, you see EVERY user app running, and can swipe it off to kill it. No need to cycle through cards to find the right one to kill, its all right there. Much better than webOS.
[TouchPad General] smalmagal:
I busted out my ol' Touchpad a few hours ago...haven't touched it in many months since I got my Galaxy Note.

Anyway, WebOS has zero advantages. It's crazy simple/ugly UI/EXTREMELY limited apps/nearly non-customizable/and just wasted space honestly...in it's current iteration anyway. I mean what the **** is with the homescreen if you can't do anything with it! It's a joke. The swiping cards thing is beyond annoying, and this is apparently the only really selling point WebOS enthusiasts have in their arsenal of "it's the best OS." Give me a break! Install the newest AOKP on your Touchpad, and tell me WebOS has ANYTHING on Android.
[TouchPad General] mountaindewmi:
How about battery life, mic, picture and video camera, and no hassle wifi?

Sure it isn't for everyone and I use mainly my CM9 OS but that doesn't mean webOS doesn't have it's pros. It isn't for everyone, but you can theme it and patch it to your liking. The only thing I wish it had was quick access widgets like news/time/weather/music so you don't have to open an app to get the info.
[TouchPad General] Divine_Madcat:
Battery Life is just fine for me (i make it through the day, charge at night), my wifi is no hassle (not to mention, people report problems with webOS too) And the camera is so pathetic that skype friends have told me not to bother with it any more.

So no, webOS really has no advantages..
[TouchPad General] cl8:
The problem with WebOS for me is the lack of apps, it's a really nice OS, but without apps it's as good as useless.
[TouchPad General] }{Alienz}{:
I basically only use WebOS on my Touchpad. Why?

-CM9 is laggy compared to WebOS

-Camera & mic. I almost ONLY use a tablet for Skype video-calling. Camera on CM9 is kaput

I switch to CM9 when I have friends over and they wanna game on the tablet. Otherwise my SGSII is better for mobile gaming. Also use CM9 for office tasks such as editing Word Documents (that's rare though). I have the bluetooth keyboard to go with it.
[TouchPad General] MikeCriggs:
Sadly, the development on WebOS doesn't compare to Android app-wise. I remember when I got my Palm Pre Plus a couple years back, I loved it. I've long since switched to Android. Occasionally, I like to boot into WebOS on my Touchpad and reminisce, but I just can't stay off Android.
[TouchPad General] BigBadWolf84:
Here I am. Tried CM 7 and 9 but now back to just WebOs.
[TouchPad General] Skripka:
Finally flashed latest cm9 on my Touchpad yesterday after using WebOS since the initial firesale. I feel like I have a new tablet TBH, even with WebOS and its plethora of published tweaks to fix HP's handiwork.

In addition, way more apps...and they work like they should...unlike HP's catalogue of apps, where 60% or more of the apps are written with only phones in mind and don't maximize properly.
