This seems so self-defeating by these companies. All this will do is push people to learn to develop on the web (arguably where they already are learning), while completely bypassing any built-in API's and stores. Sure, there's stuff you can't access without native code, but at a certain point why would anyone want to risk making their primary codebase dependent on one of these stores?
When FOSS tablets and phones become competitive, I'm really interested in getting one. Maybe even before they're realistically competitive.
