Well, it appears that HP has finally made a decision regarding the future of WebOS. As mentioned in the article (http://thenextweb.com/insider/2011/1...ce-much-of-it/), HP will be keeping WebOS, but making it open-source, while still being the watchdog over all the alterations done to the OS.

Sounds like great news! Hopefully, we will see more WebOS - powered devices in the future.

I have a soft spot for WebOS; to me it always felt like a true successor to Maemo 5. I have bought a HP Veer for my girlfriend some time ago, and she absolutely loves it. WebOS feels very intuitive, even I play around with it from time to time.
