good question.

"The build provides an ARM emulator, running core services such as db8 and node.js.We are actively converging on an OE Core image which boots to System Manager and the full webOS experience."

does it mean that arm not supported natively?

No. It means it is built to run on ARM and an ARM emulator is provided for testing it on a PC, much like the Harmattan SDK, etc.

Build instructions can be found here.

the HP Pre 3 (which has a nice spec) are on ebay for about £160-170.

i might buy one, yet another phone to add to my 'phones with lovely OSes that got abandoned by their creators' collection. ;-)

The commercial WebOS was indeed beautiful in its multitasking ergonomics although it lacks simple things like SIP client, good international phone number support, compatible Blue Tooth file exchange and so on...

Having owned a Pre 3 I must say that I felt like it was abandoned by its creator because of inferior hardware design.

It quickly became unstable to unusable and I had to send it 4 times back (1 time expansys, 3 times to Palm repair centre) and finally write an email to HP CEO and all right hands to finally get the case escalated and the motherboard replaced (like I insisted upon from day 1)

Althoug I really liked the screen of the Pre3
I 'd vote for a port to different hardware

ah, that's a shame. i was looking at the specs and thinking it looked like a reasonable 'legacy' purchase.

i'd love to see it ported to the '900, it is (as is most often the case from Nok-nok) a very well-made piece of kit. Not discounting the two times I had to send it back, obvs.

I wonder what the possibility/compatability is? weren't there some issues with driver code etc with the N900? or is all that behind us?

Open WebOS reached 1.0 and is now possible to get ported to other devices.


What 1.0 means

Combining today’s components with those from the previous releases, Open webOS can now be ported to new devices.

One thing is that there is an email client. Maybe with QtWebkit we could make use of it on nemo.

Oh, and they plan to port Qt5 on it.

Provided it is finally usable for third party applications, this might help them quite a bit.

Explanation:
The current WebOS actually already heavily uses Qt & QML (settings, progress indicators, etc), but it can't be used by third party applications at all. You either have to use their hilevel HTML based Enyo/Mojo framework or the fairly lowlevel SDL. No middle ground (Qt, GTK, EFL, etc.) available.

There is some community compiling Qt@WebOS howto from February - I've been trying to follow it but got stuck on some weird build errors. I've even tried to contact the author but unfortunately got no reply.
