I am surprized that more developers are not excited about webos. It frees developers from the App store hindrances. What's really needed is a web app to allow app developers to buy/sell/upgrade app licenses. (If the assumption is that not all app developers are interested in maintaining e-commerce infrastructure)<p>Also, from a users POV, I found the webos interface to be better than iphone or andriod. IMO, its more than an iterative step in interface design.
I quote: "first mobile development environment hosted entirely in a browser, lowering the barrier for web developers to jump into mobile development."<p>How do you like that, web devs? Now that's a smashing way to begin a relationship!
Seems to me that possibly webOS is the superior technology that is almost destined to fail to slightly worse technology like the apple app store etc...
