The PDK is an important piece to the puzzle, but it in no way lessens our commitment to the Web as the native platform for the device.

Really interesting post. I was feeling a little slighted by Palm, because I, too, bought into the CSS/HTML/JavaScript model that they presented as the future. It felt like Ares, and then the subsequent PDK announcement, erased (or diluted, at the very least) that vision. And I'm certainly no superstar developer. I say this as a person who was heavily involved in web design and development until around 2001 (the bad economy led me to a new career). I had been itching to get back into the game, and WebOS felt like the best opportunity when it came out. Now, I'm left feeling confused and concerned. And possibly stuck in my terrible accidental career. But enough about me. Your post confirmed my fears, yet somehow also made me feel better about it all. Let's hope the PDK is indeed a "stopgap" until the JS APIs are there. And let's hope Ares is taking us someplace better. Until then, I'm sticking with your book. :-) Wow! Really interesting post.
