I was really excited until they mentioned a rewrite in favor of "Html5". It's really hard for me to understand why do sane people choose resource-hungry technology to work on resource-constrained hardware despite existence of much better alternatives (Qt) over and over again. This doesn't make any sense to me. There will be performance issues for sure. The same way as they were with WebOS which happily consumed 1GB of ram (Touchpad) when 256MB would be more than enough for a native solution and could have provided a much better end-used experience (Original iPad.) WebOS heavily relies on Qt itself. Significant amount of internal infrastructure is written using it. I can't understand why didn't they officially provide Qt as a alternative way to write Apps for WebOS. It must have been a political decision ("we are WebOS, not QtOS".) Blackberry people are the ones who actually understood how good Qt actually is for such kind of thing and they are pushing it now as the native toolkit. Qt could have become a common denominator for mobile operating systems outside of the Android/iOS world. It would have helped with shortage of applications (as developers could have hypothetically wrote a very similar app for Blackberry, MeeGo and WebOS at the same time) and would ease porting of successful apps from iOS.
