Cheaper because the skills are ubiquitous. I'm also assuming the apps are simple so the web triad can cover most use cases.

  It's irrelevant because still no one will build for the platform. MS, Blackberry, Nokia have all demonstrated there's just no market for a third "app platform". These phones will have the apps from the factory, and nothing more.

      The platforms I mentioned simply don't exist any more because all people made for them were "drink beer" apps.
