The thing I liked most about WebOS?

Gestures and its card system.

I cannot imagine how that translates to a TV.

I ran into a company that has created software that allows 3D gesture sensing with inexpensive IR devices. It would seem to be perfect for this use. WebOS with gestures is a lot more intuitive than any of the remotes on my coffee table.

Perhaps a remote with a touch pad for gestures?
With TV's "second screen" being touted -- mainly via iOS -- LG is going to pass up an opportunity and NOT make a webOS tablet?

Wait. We're talking about webOS here. It's always screwed, so never mind.

Or with a smartphone
Or a Wii-like remote
