It’s weird seeing tech people complain “Android Queue is lifting the multitasking gestures straight from the iPhone!” when these features in fact originated in webOS on the Palm Prē way back in 2009, and came to the modern form in the Prē 2 in 2010 - bar indicator included!

@ticky I used a borrowed Pre 1(?) for a while just before their app store shut down and it's the only time I ever felt like my phone was an actual computer

@ticky also I had a Touchstone wireless charger but something was broken about it :(

@noiob I never had one of those, but now the Prē’s nightstand mode lives on in my Apple Watch. Weird.

@ticky ha, it even attaches the charger using magnets too
