Does anyone else agree WebOS is the number 3 mobile OS after iOS & Android? Seriously?
Objectively RIM is by far the 3rd biggest player (by some measures it is in the top 2), and I can't see how WebOS is magically going to leapfrog them. Playbook might not be perfect, but it's a lot better than the unshipped HP TouchPad.
In my head WinPhone7 is number 4 - and they at least have a strategy to move up in the market (aka Nokia).

WebOS might be lovely (I wouldn't know.. you can't buy it in my market - which says a lot), but I can list pages in Wikipedia for lovely platforms like WebOS: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisp_machine, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amiga, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure etc etc)
