I have a Pre plus. WebOS got several things right, and no, it is not slow. It's made for touch, so it's got that advantage going for it already. It excels at multitasking (maybe a little too well at times, LOL). The apps, in my opinion are the weakness. Both ereading apps convert whatever format you send it into HTML (which is a lousy idea and doesn't work, you get scrambled characters because of encoding errors). However, Chris says WebOS is easy to develop for, so maybe that'll change. So why am I ditching my Pre at my next upgrade?
Well... long story short, I need docking capability for both desk and car. The Touchstone is neat, but won't do what I want for desktop, and there isn't an "official" car dock for it that I'm aware of.

If I didn't need the docks, though - I'd probably be really happy upgrading to a Pre3.
