Now, apparently, it'll be 100% open source (obviously excluding proprietary code such as the SGX driver), straight from the horse's mouth.

Who'll use it though? Maemo's a long-time open source project that no other device manufacturer used. Looks like it'll be the same for WebOS, unless HTC and Samsung and LG and Motorola etc. start pumping out WebOS 3 phones to unseat Android.

Even then, who'll buy it? Android has a staggering amount of apps while community stuff in Preware is crap compared to what we have in the repos, the games are available everywhere else, and the only thing going for it is that WebOS is nice to use.
