It’s been a while, over two years to be exact, since Palm blew the industry away with a device that promised to be a fresh take on the smartphone concept. Unfortunately, being the small company that they were, Palm did not have the resources to take webOS (their Linux based operating system) to the masses. The company was fighting for capital and thanks to lackluster sales because of carrier exclusivity, webOS faded from the spotlight even though it remained one of the most polished and best thought out mobile operating systems on the market. The fact that hardware quality was an issue initially also played a factor (I personally went through a record 5 Palm Pre’s before switching to a Touch Pro 2 in the summer of 2010).
