Scrolled through a lot of other comments to find this one.

Palm Pre was the first true smart phone I ever owned and I still maintain it was the best - way ahead of its time with the card interface and all you needed to code apps was HTML/CSS/JS.

I am super jealous of the other timeline where someone else (or no one) bought Palm and they continued developing WebOS and releasing it on new hardware for the last 10 years.

Definitely Palm, the Palm Pre, and that tablet that I so hoped for, but never got my hands on. The whole system was amazing, the phone was amazing, Enyo was amazing. The whole company had charme and a great product and a great outlook. Up until HP came by and smashed them into pieces...

I really miss the multi-tasking dynamic where you could have 'stacks' of documents within one app (e.g. browser tabs).

It's amazing that webOS pretty much nailed multitasking on mobile years ago. It took Android and iOS several years to copy the cards interface, and even then it's a half baked implementation.

I loved my Palm Pre.
