Ease of use

I think they may have a good chance because of the ease of use of the OS. You don't have to explain anything to use webos. It's smooth, quick, and reacts like you would expect it to.

We have a Galaxy at work, and every person that has tried to use it fails to understand how everything works. This is because there is so much fragmentation between apps. Most couldn't even close an app, or switch between apps. It's not intuitive. The transitions are jumpy. User interface is not precise.

Agreed on the Android tablets, they are surprisingly confusing to ordinary users. My caution with Web OS is based on the fact that the handsets failed to sell and any form of undersell or failure in this market is seen as the first sign of total failure. Part of what makes the iPad such a joy to use is that it works the same way as an iPhone even if all the apps have been redone and restructured to take advantage of the screen real estate. WebOS cannot say the same thing and Android on a tablet looks and feels very different to Andoid on a phone thus far.
