Didn't work for Palm or HP and people complained like crazy about how there "wasn't even a native app framework" and "the apps are just web pages."
I loved WebOS and had all the Palm WebOS phones, but things quickly became a two horse race. I only grudgingly switched after I came to work at Google and they gave us a free Nexus phone as a christmas present one year, and even then I missed my Palm. Android did at least improve once Google hired Mattias Duarte from Palm/HP and he took over UX on it.
I suspect for WebOS to have a decent crack at it they would have eventually had to roll out an Android emulation layer. Developers have a tough enough time supporting iOS and Android.
