So, what exactly is the state of Palm and the WebOS. Is the dev community still growing? Is anyone actually making apps? Are people even able to buy the phones

  Larger companies seem to be taking a wait-and-see approach. I suspect after the HP acquisition announcement, things probably look a little more up. The community itself is definitely still growing (One of the few brightspots in the way Palm launched WebOS was the way they handle their community) There are a growing number of apps (although growing at a much slower rate than some other platforms), and there is at least some sentiment that because of the small amount of competition and the quality of the development platform, that it's a good idea to release a WebOS app. And yes, Sprint, Verizon, and ATT are all selling the phones in the U.S. Most likely there'll be new hardware in a couple months.

  It still growing. More apps are being release particularly since the native SDK is now available (for games etc.) For the community, WebOS Internals (http://www.webos-internals.org http://www.webos-internals.org) and PreCentral (http://precentral.net http://precentral.net) are the places to go. And it's still the only mobile device where you can update the kernel at the supermarket =)
