I was just rewatching this video and got sad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bY4HDftIllw

Enyo let you write HTML5 apps in Chrome, Firefox or whatever, and essentially (to simplify) add a few WebOS hints and you have a fully functional native app. More than anything else, I hope Enyo becomes completely open source so we can write html5 cross-os apps that are as snappy as those on WebOS with a framework that lets you create reuseable parts.

Also, WebOS daemons/services were just node.js scripts. How awesome is that.

Yeah. I think an open source port of this for Android would be cool...

I feel silly for not developing any apps. It is just JavaScript and CSS. I've heard that a million time, but never really looked into it.

edit: booting into webos would be booting into a browser the same way booting into chrome os is booting into a browser.

I would've loved to see ChromeOS + WebOS.

I was just on a Virgin America flight where they were lending out Chromebooks to try and part of me thought why aren't they lending out tablets on a plane instead?

And porting some of those chromeOS apps would've been pretty easy...
