Even blackberry got it and bb10 is completly native and uses c++/qt as their main sdk. No one cares about webOS anymore which means something gotta change.
Also, no one cares about BB10.
However, quite a few people are coming around to web technologies -- AppCelerator Titanium, PhoneGap, Tizen, Boot2Gecko, more.
hardware wise -- there was the belief that portrait sliders would continue to be popular (they really never were), and the belief that a good tablet could compete with the iPad price wise. The TouchPad is quite a good tablet, but it's pricepoint was really really badly chosen.
Software wise -- there's a great framework in webOS. It's missing a lot of things that developers really need, API wise. I don't pretend to know what will be in webOS 4.0/Open webOS 1.0, but I have a feeling that it will be a lot more like what the engineers wanted for webOS 3, than what we actually ended up with. And I have a feeling that a lot of things that I've been wrestling with will have been worked out, or will be able to be worked out.
