The credit for the same is given to the folks of webOS community, as Open webOS has been ported to Google’s popular Nexus 7 tablet.
The port was done and made successfully by Open webOS developer Simon “morphis” Busch. Although, the port stands out to be at its alpha stage, yet with the demo which is done via- YouTube, has been a phenomenal one. It indeed showcases to be quite a impressive one. However, having said that, you do not have to come to the conclusions as its build is not quite stable. Apart from that, it does not stand out to be good enough so that it can be used in your primary tablet.
