Ben wrote in to say this is pretty cool. TealOS is a flashy skin for Garnet and transforms your Palm powered Treo or Centro into something which makes you think you are running WebOS. It has the look and feel of WebOS, utilising gestures and cards (including shuffling) for launching applications. The skin gives you other cool ways to launch applications with a quicklaunch bar at the bottom and also a wavelauncher which you slide up from the bottom of the screen to launch another customisable set of applications. Personally I think while it looks cool, the card graphics could be a little better and the skin does slow down the device somewhat. Traditional launching via the default application launcher is actually quicker if you just hit the first letter of the name of the application.This is unfortunately not supported in TealOS. Within an application however, you could still press and hold the Home key to see and switch to your last 10 applications. This video demo’s TealOS in action:
Is it worth the $14.95 the developers are asking for? Well you could always try it as it is shareware, though it’s quite a naggy app until you register it.
