I've used WebOS for the last 23 months, and IMHO, there isn't a better notification mechanism on any mobile OS. I have no idea why Android and iOS haven't just copied the way it works, at least as much as they can with their different approaches to multitasking.

Unfortunately, HP's roadmap for WebOS phones hasn't exactly rocked anyone's world, so I'm going to definitely consider switching to (probably) Android or (maybe) iOS after my contract is up next month. None of the Android phones have wowed me either, and I'm not an iOS fan at all, but I just don't see HP committing the resources to WebOS phones now that they're trying to do the tablet thing, and committing to another two years with a Pre 3 or something just doesn't make sense.
