I have a webOS phone (in fact i have four - two Pre's (inc a Pre Plus) a Pre 2 and a Palm Pixi Plus) all of which I've devved for - free and commercial software. I also have a HP TouchPad that uses webOS.


The OS is absolutely wonderful and fresh, with great gesture controls and very easy to code for - there's no certification or Xcode shit like on iOS and there are no fees to create or release software (HP do take a 30% cut of any sales though). The only things that actually let the OS down were the hardware running it (performance-wise) and HP themselves. Stupid feckers.


It would be great to see Pandora running webOS in the future, although a capacitive touchscreen would be required for certain functions.

Seems someone has been working on a Raspi port, which maybe could be used as a starting point (see http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/2045, towards bottom of the page).

It should also be possible to run WebOS game binaries by compiling a few libraries needed and LD_PRELOADing them before execution. See maemo preenv.
