Re: surprisingly: WebOS is going open source
You're missing the whole point. It doesn't matter that HP isn't going to use it for phones. GREAT. There hardware wasn't fantastic anyway. It sounds like the whole thing is going open source... that...

Re: Time for an open maemo fork?
It wouldn't help you. MeeGo doesn't exist.

Re: YOU have killed MeeGo/Qt
Compatibility makes no sense if you're on the bottom. If you're the dominant player, you can say "See, we even run the other guy's apps, so we run everything! There's now no point going with the...
