HP has been shipping Splashtop (as "HP QuickWeb" and "Voodoo IOS") and on many models for several years now and nobody cared. Why would they, when Windows is right there?

WebOS (though better than Splashtop) faces much the same problem. It's going to take bolder moves than just making it available.

With the increasing importance of web-based applications and the decreasing relevance of the desktop platform, I think interfaces like WebOS (with its "Just type" and smooth task-centered interface) do have a good chance of becoming relevant. If you develop for ChromeOS, chances are a port can be done in hours and will run smoothly on WebOS.
