It will be _very_ interesting if the community (which one is insignificant, but i suppose it won't come from a certain site) will pull off to run "it" on just one other ARM device - fully.

Even if they did the very unlikely and did release the driver source code, it would cover just the current WebOS devices - porting to other devices would still be hindered by missing drivers.
Since it's using a Linux kernel, don't we already have most of the drivers necessary? Shouldn't it be able to run on anything that can already run Android?

The most interesting part of WebOS is and will be Enyo, the Html5+JS+CSS UI framework.

Seeing that thing change the ui layout from 1 pane to 3 pane simply by having the size of the browser window change is more impressive than anything cooked up by Apple or Google so far (tho Android Fragments UI lib may be close).

Basically, it can potentially go from phone/pmp/pda/tablet to desktop with simply a change of output. And adapt to the new screen area as it happens.

...at the same time, being a part that make it most miserably limited, unfortunately. UI of OS being a big browser - it can bring epic headache, if You're trying to port/write something advanced. HTML and java (brrrr!) lovers may say whatever they want, it is *not*˛real framework.

Even still, sucking some useful parts from it, or even porting - if we could find enough knowledgeable and interested (which, in case of Big Bad HTML5 browser "desktop enviroment", sounds almost like oxy*****) people - it to N900 would be indeed interesting.

Cruel joke - maybe someone is willing to run Mr. Big Browser (Enyo) under chroot enviroment? :)
