You're right, the lack of support for legacy devices or even one device aside from Ubuntu-desktops is disappointing and definitely a poor choice of strategy, but as for the lack of certain key components, please remember it is a beta .. not everything is meant to be working just yet!
Yes, we are all disappointed about how webOS had so much potential in 2009, but has since floundered under poor management decisions in Palm and HP, but as bluenote has said, you as a member of the community, do have a choice.. u can choose to re-hash the past like many have, over and over and over again / bag out HP for not doing enough to help make webOS the star it can be, or u can join us as we all bunch together and help support the guys in the community who ARE making a difference (webOS internals / ports).
I think it's a universally accepted fact that HP just doesn't have the will to heavily invest in webOS, but having said that, they will apparently be releasing details on what is planned following the full final release of open webOS code in Sept.. and don't forget that HP has recently advertised a fair number of jobs on webosjobs.com
I still think webOS is the best mobile OS out there even though many of the key features have since been copied in other platforms. webOS still does them better - apps / ecosystem are going to be the challenge.
Nevertheless, don't under-estimate the power of the open source community and in particular, our webOS community .. webOS Internals, webOS Ports and possibly Phoenix, may not be large corporations, but they work wonders..
The fact that you're still posting on these forums suggests that you still hold some sort of hope even if you are disappointed with how things have turned out for webOS (we all are mate) .. it's just the beginning of a new chapter, and whilst it is definitely going to be yet another long and bumpy journey, strap yourself in .. it will be exciting!
Edit: Garrett92C beat me to the webosjobs thing haha
