I like how your poll put "Fragmentation" down last as if it is a bad thing. That is why webOS will never succeed in an open source world.

Fragmentation is a GOOD THING!! If webOS becomes fragmented it is because people are using it the way that open sourcing intended! It means that manufacturers are picking it up and adding what they feel are competitive advantages to it in order woo people to their implementation.

Anyone who honestly things that webOS can stay on the straight and narrow with fragmentation and multiple manufacturers is completely out of touch with reality.

There will obviously be some form of fragmentation. To say that every future webOS product that comes out is going to be the same is mythical thinking.

The biggest thing that needs to be addressed is core functionality. All webOS devices running 3.x need to have the same core functionality and not be fragmented in that sense.

There will be fragmentation, it just depends on what level it comes.

You could get all 4. Who's to say you don't end up with a "revamped look n feel to webOS" that has "more new apps & famous ones" but gets "no traction" resulting in different WebOS versions thus having a platform that is "fragmented?"

Revamped look n feel to webOS	33	39.76%
More new apps & famous ones	50	60.24%
No traction	16	19.28%
