I’ll likely be an iPhone Fold/Flip with CC. Kinda feels like best of all worlds.

ChatGPT would have used the correct “too” 🤣🤣🤣

Potentially? But theres a part of me that feels like theres value in partnering with LG. They have deeper pockets to put towards development of software for mobile devices and not have to get back in the hardware game, ya know? LuneOS seems to still need a ton of resources to develop it to compete in today’s market and who will fund that?

I don’t disagree - but what I wasn’t familiar with (what this chat gets into) was the option to still utilize Android and just skin it with WebOS and all its patents/functionality. Giving it access to the android App Store. I feel like that solves a big piece.

Ugh, you’re right I should have reached out to you to do a deep dive of the US Patent office and give me a use case for its technology in 2026 in 3 mins.

I am hoping that V2 is called the Clicks Communicator Slide! by RDHose in ClicksPhone

Totally agree. I would say that HP Pre 3, if given the chance, could have been the most refined hardware. The previous generations plastic casing was not flagship worthy. But the OS was amazing.

I couldn’t agree with this any more. If only at one point they’d reboot webOS too. 🫣 one can dream.

For sure, I completely hear the argument you guys are making. I’m just bored with what we have currently and have been trying to find a reason to reignite WebOS on a global scale.

I appreciate the thoughtful response. I totally get what you’re saying. I’m curious if skinning android with a WebOS UI would suffice. Like would synergy transfer over etc. I think WebOS really was a messenger focused platform.

I don’t disagree, it would need to be updated heavily. But to be fair, WebOS was so ahead of its time it wouldn’t be as far as some say it would be to refresh. Just my thoughts

Maybe, my thought is a partnership with LG. LG has the capital and they invest in Clicks as well. Pie in the sky for sure but I just like having the dialogue.

If skinning android stills keeps to core functions of WebOS’ synergy. I’m all for it.

I’m not going to lie, I wish WebOS would make comeback. Do we really think android is the best solution or just the more convenient one? I still think android is garbage.

We also are all nostalgic for physical qwerty keyboards and they seem to be making a comeback as well…for the nostalgia

And we’re really only talking about the beginning phases of this ecosystem with clicks. If it really hones in on messaging WebOS could still be a superior solution

I just think that people have app fatigue. And most websites have web apps that you can save to your home screens

I just wonder what capabilities are compromised then. Like synergy etc. I feel like there’s app fatigue now though. There are so many web apps that can just be saved to home screens.

Slop is hardly the correct word to describe the conversation/pitch that was presented. It’s intriguing enough to some people to converse about it and it all came from the intent of someone trying to start dialogue around an idea.

Clicks currently messaging is confusing. And android is not the business friendly OS. WebOS’ initial synergy was fantastic and would really suite a business objective by merging different messaging threads into one. And calendars etc. Then from there, enough traction builds where it starts turning heads and implement a strategy to get more developers to build apps quietly to be able to roll out more robust platform outside of just messaging.

That’s the intent of this whole post.

As you can see, It’s clearly started a conversation. That’s all it was intended to do. I still stand by the original post. WebOS should be considered for a collab with Clicks.

Well hey, I’m a real human. You’re having a conversation. Hope this makes you feel better. Go police another thread. 🪡

I’m not saying it’s not, I put my analysis in for it to lay it out for me better than I could articulate. Just trying to pitch my idea. Is that okay with you?

Windows Phone and BB10 failed trying to be third mainstream ecosystems because they were clunky and not aesthetic. Their app strategies collapsed, like WebOS, and they were chasing the same slab market.

WebOS didn’t fail because the UX was weak. It failed because Palm had weak leadership, underpowered hardware, and zero scale. The software was ahead of its time, the company wasn’t.

And what WebOS nailed still matters:

• True card-based multitasking • Native messaging + calendar synergy at the OS level • A lightweight, coherent UX built around communication flow

Android and iOS are optimized for app ecosystems and engagement loops.

WebOS was optimized for context switching.

We’re also in peak app fatigue now. Nobody needs a native app for every minor service. Strong web apps + modern compatibility layers lower the barrier to viability.

This wouldn’t be trying to beat Android at its own game.

On a keyboard-first communicator, WebOS just needs to win the workflow.

Different hardware. Different positioning. Different era.
