Nothing I wrote is unreasonable. The only real advantage of HTML5 on the desktop is that it has a shallow learning curve vs., say, iOS. I didn't say it wouldn't be developer friendly. I'm saying that it really makes no difference that they are using HTML+JS if, like WebOS, they have tight coupling to the native OS API. Also, I didn't say they would use ASP.NET controls, but something similar - rich controls backed specifically by the OS. My point stands: Different developer toolset - same vendor lock-in.
