Part of the issue with Android and WebOS is that neither is designed to be a
"file manager" type OS. They're both designed around the concept that the
application will know where the files it needs are.
What this means is that neither has an out of the box file manager as part
of the OS. I know android has a fairly good third party file manager, but as
I understand it, the WebOS API doesn't make it easy to write a file manager.
Obviously, the terminal capabilities of both OSs allow for some semblance of
file management, but GUI options are quite limited.
Just my $0.02
