Don't be fooled: here, WebOS is clearly the superior OS. They made a simple enough API that could be implemented in an afternoon and that is enough to get commercial game developers onboard. That is brilliant, and the N900 has nowhere near such an API (well, until preenv

).

*Note: not saying that WebOS is a superior OS in every other aspect. It is more closed than Maemo, for example (but IMHO more open than Android...).

Also, you might say Qt is such an API, but it is not exactly what I'd call "simple".
