First thing: Don't assume that this means they're going to replace Windows! :-)
Besides the guts of the OS which talks to the hardware (a very slick Linux build) on webOS phones, the platform is basically just HTML, CSS and JavaScript. It has always been easy to run and debug applications in Chromium.
You can download the SDK today and run an x86 build of webOS in VirtualBox. If you haven't played with webOS before, I urge you to try it.
Web developers who care about mobile will go absolutely bananas for it, and their new framework 'Enyo' is an even better experience for developers.
Here's a blog post about webOS I wrote quite a while back:
