I totally agree. Symbian and Android are open sourced so there is no chance any other manufacturer would be interested in paying to use WebOS. They should have open sourced from the start. Their problem is that unlike other companies, they don't want to give anything back (and this annoys consumers). This strategy works for Apple only because there are many who are heavily biased towards Apple, and Steve Job's often deceives them (like during the iPhone launch, he strongly implied he invented Multitouch, and that no other manufacturer would support multitouch because Apple patented it). Furthermore, nobody even seems to be selling Palm phones here in Australia. Since palm are the only manufacturer which makes WebOS phones, that means nobody in Australia uses WebOS. That being said though, Palm's phones aren't that great anyway
