It's interesting because the commercial support of WebOS has built a pretty solid SmartPhone and tablet OS which puts it on somewhat equal ground as iOS or Android for now. I can't think of any other parallel where a somewhat competitive platform is open sourced and hits the ground running.
The lack of hardware is an issue in the short-term but we'll probably see WebOS ports for a lot of popular Android devices to start with. From there the not-Samsung, non-Motorola, Android device makers might want to give it a closer look.
