Agreed. I had an iPhone 4 for about a year when the Touchpad went to fire sale, and stayed up fairly late to order one online. I had heard great things about webOS, and the Touchpad looked like a bargain.
And it's great for reading Hacker News (overlooking that it is incapable of parsing the single quote char correctly on HN) and the odd Kindle book(on the beta Amazon webOS app that is unlikely to ever see another update). But all it really has done for me so far is validated that I will utilize a tablet device and made me want to buy a supported device. I want to do things like play higher end games, use Evernote, and watch Hulu/Netflix.
But oh well, maybe one day the open source effort will yield fruit. After I get a tablet that hasn't died yet, I will try putting Ubuntu on my Touchpad. I still really like webOS, and it does some things very well, better than my iPhone. But right now I don't see any light at the end of the tunnel.
