Yes, the app library is extremely small, and many of the free apps you love on Android or iOS will cost a few dollars in WebOS. Make sure you subscribe to the WebOS newsletter. Every Thursday*, they give away free codes to apps you normally have to pay for. Once the e-mail is sent, you have about two hours to download/install it before the allotment is used up.

* - It has been every Thursday afternoon, except it was Friday morning two weeks ago.

I have plenty of useful apps to keep me occupied until a Honeycomb/Ice Cream Sandwich port is stable (I don't want Gingerbread). The only thing I'm really missing is a Firefox-type browser. The two that are available (one of them being stock) are lacking.
