Even the most dedicated watchers of mobile operating systems may have been surprised recently when a distribution called "LuneOS" announced its first release (code-named "Affogato"). LuneOS, it turns out, is a version of webOS, a mobile operating system originally created by Palm. WebOS has had a bit of a troubled history, but it still has a dedicated following of users and developers. LuneOS is another attempt to turn webOS into a useful system for those users. The effort is a noble one, but the LuneOS developers have a lot of ground to cover yet.
