WebOS will never surpass QNX. Besides, you're comparing apples to oranges. QNX is a real-time mission critical OS. WebOS is based off Linux, which is significanlty inferior to QNX.

What you're talking about are the interfaces on top of the underlying kernel, which is the part that people interact with. It would be easy for RIM to make the interface as slick and functional as WebOS. HP could never make the kernel of WebOS as good as QNX.
