The only reason why WebOS may be “eh” to some people is because the Palm Pre is only running at 75% CPU (I think it’s like 475mhz when the CPU supports 600mhz). And it has limited memory.
The Pre Plus on Verizon is going to run much better. WebOS just needs to go on better hardware. It runs like a dream on my phone because I have certain tweaks installed, but out of the box after you put a buncha crap on it…it does slow down.
But yeah, some nice phones rumored to come out soon.
