Comments on: Next webOS Update To Focus On Speed?
A number of interesting bits and pieces are contained within, but the one that has really set hearts racing is a quote from Dion that acknowledges webOS' current issues with "UI latency" - i.e. the dreaded tapping and dragging lag that afflicts many apps. Quoth the raven:
On ease of use, multitasking has been great; UI latency is still an issue even though the hardware is comparable to [iPhone] 3GS. The problem is the path to the GPU didn't exist, but now with CSS transforms, that will be solved in the immediate future

RE: One of the points being missed...
Since GPUs tend to move electrons around a LOT when they're actually being used, I would expect (without ANY other information than that) that the battery life is going to take a hit when Palm starts using an otherwise idling GPU unit in addition to the CPU (since the CPU is going to get used ANYWAY).

One of the points being missed...
Think they might have rushed the release a little?
It'll be interesting to see how fast they develop those CSS transform hooks and what effect it will have on battery use.
