The company plans to start showing the latest webOS platform at the Consumer Electronics Show in January in Las Vegas.

reduced boot times up to 60%
faster loading time up to 70% when moving from the home screen to YouTube or other applications
My Chains for creating the list of personalized TV channels from the Bar Launch
