Video: First look at LG's webOS powered SmartTV

Here's a video showing what webOS can do as a SmartTV interface. webOS was Palm's mobile operating system that ran its Pre handsets and after HP purchased and eventually shelved Palm and webOS, the remnants got sold to LG. With less than a year in development, webOS on LG's SmartTV looks and feels like a responsive and very user-focused interface. It is so much better than some of the kludgy, cluttered and hard to navigate and control SmartTV implementations we've seen in past years. This video demo, taken today in LG's headquarters in Toronto, shows the future of webOS and I have to say I'm pretty impressed at what it can do.
