Phoenix project wants to rise from the ashes of webOS, with a touch of open source

It looks like webOS isn't going quietly into the mobile OS retirement home.

Focusing its efforts on transporting open webOS to existing devices, both HP-made and otherwise, Phoenix also wants throw in some new features and fixes -- presumably throwing in some extra software gems and UI tweaks.
