Ask HN: What makes Firefox OS better than webOS?
I don't understand why Mozilla chose to create Firefox OS, rather than pick up development of Palm/HP's webOS?
It seems like a lot of what Mozilla wants to do could be done easily with webOS, since webOS has been open-sourced, it would run great on the hardware Mozilla is targeting, apps are developed with HTML+CSS+Javascript… what am I missing?
If webOS couldn't make it as a platform, why will Firefox OS?
