"Have you lost all hope that we'll ever see a new webOS-based smartphone released?"

Humza Ahmed WebOS TVs? I'd give it a month before ones spotted running Android.

Mark Belkowski webos is done, nothing else to talk about.

Matt Jackson Android "wasn't that good" when it first came out; neither was ios. The tragedy that is webos is in what it could have been. Poor hardware support brought it down before webos had the opportunity to fully flourish. With enough time it could have easily competed against Apple and Google.

Devin Tolliver @Jesse Ling. Even though webOS wasnt "that good", people saw its potential and what it could become. I'd go as far to say that it would be competing with Android and iOS if it had better hardware.
