As a previous owner of the original Palm Pre on Sprint and current owner of the TouchPad, I have to say that my confidence in WebOS is starting to fade quickly. The rate of development/updates that have been released for the TouchPad has been very underwhelming. I am saying that as someone who has worked for software companies much smaller than the remaining Palm team is repoted to be at now.
That doesn't mean that their developers aren't doing large amounts of development; it is just that the consumer of current TouchPads have seen very little fruits from their labor. If I had to venture a guess, I am thinking that much of the focus of their developers is making core changes to the underlying infrastructure to make the WebOS platform more appealing to other vendors to pick up. Possibly APIs and other changes that would allow apps for Android to run on WebOS or something like that (it would make it easier for Amazon to pull the trigger for future Kindle Fires for example). That is all fine and good, but as a current owner of the TouchPad, the slower the rate for updates to WebOS 3.0 are, the harder it will be to not jump ship and install Android ICS on my TouchPad. I really want WebOS to succeed, but these very slow and underwhelming updates take a toll on your confidence level in the platform.
My 2 cents.
