I would like to add that Federic already did some outstanding work on the pos, 
bug and annoyance fixes and huge optimizations:

- 100x speed improvement on rendering, by tweaking the css and the widget js 
(as reported by the chrome profiler) the interface is now snappy like a native 
app on both iOS and android devices (even low ends one). On pc 100x speed up 
applies too but is less visible as the cpu is usually much bigger. The pos 
nows runs on a separate addresse /point_of_sale/web and it doesnt  load 
unnecessary css.

- Quick loading (and quick switching from backend to pos), we now cache the 
products and prices so starting the pos is instantaneous.

- iOS and android app integration, you can easily add an icon from your launcher

- bug and annoyances fixes: keyboard handler, printing and many minor issues.

He will soon start to work on the posbox device.

I was personnaly afraid that a web pos would always lag compared to native app 
and that would make openerp pos a second class citizen on android/ios devices 
(like the faceboook app compared to watsapp).

But since the work of frederic i'm totally confident about the viablity of the 
OpenERP pos as web application on tablets because it's now fast as hell a user 
wont be able to tell the difference and we benefit from all the advantage of 
web deployement.
