WebOS on iPad? 2x Faster than on the TouchPad! | PadGadget

What I've heard is not that they loaded WebOS on an iPad 2, but rather they ran WebOS apps inside the browsers on both devices and the wwebapps in Safari on the iPad 2 were several times faster than on the TouchPad. This is a function of the browser/software more than the hardware.

On the hardware side the Snapdragon/Adreno 220 GPU in the TouchPad is better than that shitty Tegra 2, and is fairly close to the A5 in the iPad 2 (though ever so slightly behind).

So if they get Android running on the TouchPad it'll be better than any competing Tegra 2 tablet with Android.
