Personally, fxspec06, I agree with you. No, I'm not entirely happy with the decision, but I do understand why they made it, and I'm content with it. I think that we can all agree that we wanted Open webOS on AT LEAST the Touchpad. But hey, you can't win 'em all. So, as users, we have a choice, like you said: hate the past or hope for the future. I'm on the later. I mean, I volunteer for Phoenix International, so I kinda have to :P
With my (extremely minimal, yet ever increasing) coding experience, and hopefully some expertise from those who actually worked on Open webOS, I'm going to try to get it running. Maybe if others attempted to do the same (reach out, i.e. call HP and ask if it is even remotely possible to port it to legacy hardware, and if so, what needs to be done to do so, and can the homebrew community do this), we'll get it on legacy hardware later. People just need to chillax. Remember, regardless if you hate HP or not, they're still the company who is releasing this for us. And disappointed and furious as some of you may be, they were not obligated to do as much as they have. So, be at least a little appreciative. With the code out the door soon, we will still have the opportunity to mess with it and attempt to do what we wish HP should've done. Could've, would've, should've, but didn't. And that's the facts.
Also, we don't actually know what they plan to do after 1.0 is out. Maybe they're testing it on hardware. Maybe they're not. Only they know, and they're most likely under an NDA so we won't know. Of course, I've always been an optimist, so this is just my two cents.
