Since WebOS's app platform is HTML5/JS, an interesting convergence with browser app stores could happen here and allow WebOS devices an easier bootstrap, since the code could also run in the Chrome and (forthcoming) Mozilla app stores without much modification (theoretically, anyway). They'd be smart to continue and expand upon that thread by working on leveraging existing technologies as much as possible, since smart phone platforms are, much like normal OS platforms, all about the software that third parties develop for them.
