IIRC he didn't port the full OS, but the Mojo runtimes for 1.4x something.

Who'll use it though? Maemo's a long-time open source project that no other device manufacturer used.
Even then, who'll buy it?

(though it seems to be porting Qt to WebOS is missing the point entirely)

WebOS is already highly optimized for phones. As an example, the way multitasking is done (cards instead of windows, as it's done in Maemo 5)
The only way I can think of improving WebOS is: overhaul it, making the UI use uxlaunch instead of the crazy, depend-on-several-services-that-are-not-dbus-and-X thing that it has now, and make it use DEB/RPM instead of the inadequate IPKG.
Oh, and a GRID of cards, not a stack of them. Like a hybrid of the N9 and Pre, swiping them away or into view.
Oh, and maybe migrate away from Mojo/Enyo to Tizen HTML5? The two are already quite similar.

Having Enyo open means that you can run the standard webOS applications wherever you want, including a plain desktop webkit-based browser (this has been done already with Chrome...).

If nothing else at least a great majority of people on this forum would love to be able to update their n900 hardware and be able to keep all that maemo 5 goodness on a more up to date device. I definitely would like to be able to do maemo 5 things on a newer, faster device.

*Trivia: The 25$ raspberry pi runs circles - no, planetary orbits around the N8x0 performance-wise
Depends on what the point of webOS is. To be a web-tech-friendly Linux base (in which case Qt makes a lot of sense),
or just a vehicle for web apps (in which case it's no better than Tizen).

lol reading this thread i had a slight glimmer of hope of the possibility of seeing maemo on some new hardware
..then i looked at the pre 3 ...16g on board and no sd card ...knew it was too good to be true

Who'll use it though? Maemo's a long-time open source project that no other device manufacturer used. Looks like it'll be the same for WebOS, unless HTC and Samsung and LG and Motorola etc. start pumping out WebOS 3 phones to unseat Android.
Even then, who'll buy it? Android has a staggering amount of apps while community stuff in Preware is crap compared to what we have in the repos, the games are available everywhere else, and the only thing going for it is that WebOS is nice to use.
